Ml; 1:44, MO Job'i Character Job wai a man of aincerity and conaiatency. He waa faithful to God. Job waa not sinleaa, and never pretended to be, but he feared God, did that which waa right, and turned away from evil. God bleaaed Job with a Urge, happy family, aa well aa with great richea, consisting principally of great flocka and herds of liveatock, of which he had come into possession honestly. Satan'a Challenge God praised Job saying, "There is none like him in the earth." Satan challenged God's atatement, accused Job of being good and serving God merely because of aelf interest, and contended that if Job's possessions were removed that he would curse God. In response to Satan's accuaation, God gave the Adversary permission to test Job in any manner which he desired except the taking of his life. Job's Calamities Satan did not lose any time in using God's permissive will in allowing the testing of Job. All of Job's property was swept away. In one day the richest man in the East became bankrupt. That in itself would have driven many into despair. Then, all ten of Job's children were killed in a ter rible storm. Job responded: "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." What a timely and helpful lesson for those who have become resentful and bitter because they have lost a loved one! Then Job was smitten with tortuous and loathsome boils from his head to his feet. This caused Job to lose his posi tion. The "greatest man in the East" was compelled to sit "among the ashes," scraping the terrible sores on his poor body. Surely, the account of Job's extreme ease ?n recorded that all who are called to pass through extreme conditions may know that God is able to deliver from ex treme afflictions. Perhaps the hardest blow of all Job suffered was when his wife failed him, urged him to give up his faith in God, and to commit suicide. God pity the person who is hindered in religious life by some member of his immediate family who is being influenced by Satan, or who has to stumble over some relative in his effort to be loyal to God. Job's Comment Even though Job was baffled as to why he had to suffer, he realised his afflications were due to the permissive will of God. Job reprimanded his wife for her sinful sugges tions, maintained his remarkable confidence in God, and concluded beyond doubt that God had some good purpose in permitting him to suffer. Fully aware that his blessings outnumbered his adversities, Job remained submissive, loyal, and true to God. Conclusion From the example of this man of tremendous faith we learn that it's more important that we have the right at titude toward our afflications and adversities than it is to know the reason for them. Instead of adopting the attitude of self-pity or resentment, when we have these unpleasant experiences, let us resort to earnest prayer, Christlike resignation, and complete dedication to greater usefulness in the Lord's service because of them . + + + The Sunday School Lesson is sent in each week by Clear Creek Baptist School in Pineville, Ky. and is based on copyrighted outlines produced by the committee on the Uniform series and used by permission.
