The story of Job in the Bible

Job is a righteous man, Who worship only the true God in the land of Uz. He was a wealthy man with a large family. He is so generous and kind. Poor people, widow's and orphan's do come to him for help. He has seven son's and 3 beautiful daughters. God bless him, all his life stock's, and he happens to be the greatest among all men on earth during his time. But, does it mean Job will not have challenges? Let's see.

Satan tempted Job

While Job was carrying out his daily activities, Setan the devil was busy watching him. So, The true God said to Satan

Have you noticed my servant Job? There is no one like him on Earth. He listens to me, and does what is right.
Job 1:8

In return, Satan challenged God by telling him that Job obeys him because he (God) have blessed him and have been protecting him. He further said that God blessed Job with many lands and animals. But for him to know if Job really loves him, he should take away all those blessings, and watch Job stop worshipping him right before his face.

What did God did for this challenge? Having full confidence in Job, he told Satan to take away all those things Job has, but he should not torch his soul.

Satan brought disasters to Job

Satan now started tempting Job. First, he causedSabeans poeple to stole all his cattle and donkeys. Later, he used 🔥 fire destroy all 🐑 sheep's belongs to Job. He sent another group of people from the land ofChaldeans to stole Job's 🐪 camel's. All his servants where killed. The worst of it all is, Job lost all his children in one day. It was really a heart breaking situation.

To make him to suffer more, Satan causedSores to break out all over his body. Now, Job is in a terrible pain, and smelling same time.

He went ahead to sent Job's 3 friends to go and tell him that, it was God that is punishing him because of his evil deed. All this things was to make Job to turn away from God. But did Job stop worshipping God?? The answer is no.

God blessed Job again

Job did not give in to Satan's temptations. When the test was over, Job was given 10 times of what he had before. He was blessed again with children and many life stocks. He lived a long happy life here on earth.

Moral lessons
