Job Chapter 1 Verse 1 - 22: In this chapter Satan tempts God and announces that Job, one of God faithful followers was only so faithful because of what material things he had. Job had 7 Sons, and 3 daughters, 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 hundred Yoke of Oxen, 500 hundred she asses and a very great household, therefore the greatest man in all the land of the east. God knew that these things were beyond Jobs faithfulness to follow him and told the devil to intercede and remove these things and see how Job would react. The Devil destroyed all of the animals, Each group of animals one at a time. Then a great wind came where the 7 sons were eating and destroyed the house and all were killed. Unlike many of us in this day, God would be cursed and God would be blamed, yet Job rent his clothing, fell to his knees and worshipped. And said, Naked came I out of my mothers womb, and naked shall I return thither; The Lord gave and taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord. In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. Job in all that he lost continues to be challenged in Chapter 2 - 5 while his faith remained true to God. How much of our material things in life could be lost in tragedy before our faith would be challenged? Near what Job lost which included his 7 sons, likely the ones that helped his build the farm and take care for the animals. My what a challenge that Satan put upon him, but God proved his point, Jobs faith remained. Imagine Satans attitude at this point. A good time to say, Get Behind me Satin , God is my keeper, my strength and provider. We must be prepared for these challenges in bad times. Our Cross will not always be easy. Burdens like what Job endured can be right around the corner, but remember God remains with us. I pray we never have to endure such tragedy in our lives, yet know that God will be beside us. Chemo went well and due to some other issues, the Doctor was ready to stop the treatment since no cancer was showing up. But I told him I could manage the issues, and would rather go forward with this maintenance Chemo treatment as planned, so we did. Ill be checking back in with work and see about returning physically if required. ASI has been great to me giving me time to recover, but I want to return as soon as possible. We have some pretty give challenges ahead and my presents should be helpful. I hope Ill be give the opportunity to get the flex schedule until all my Chemo is done in 3 to 5 weeks.
