Amen woman of God no matter what happened to JOB he kept his faith in God! Even his so-called friends were haters, naysayers, and were critical but JOB did not get angry, shout, or got bitter he prayed for his friends. After he had comapssion for those around him in the mist of his circumstances God blessed him with double for his trouble. Of course his children could never be replaced and he grieved that terrible loss. But his health, cattle, servants, and wealth were restored. The devil uses losses to tempt us into giving up on GOD but before every blessing there is a serious attack! So we must be patient and earnestly pray. God may not come when we want him but he comes right on time. Praise God for all of his blessings!

 

As people of God we should fear not evil because God is on our side. If Jesus was willing to die for us in our detestable sins such as: lying, stirring up trouble, sexual pervertion, profane languge, whoremogging, homosexuality, stealing, bitterness, gossip and hate we have not business being afraid because we have such glorious promises on the other side when we go home to see Jesus Christ.

He died for me can we honestly say we know of a relative, friend, or brother and sister in Christ who is willing to die for us. Jesus said greater is he that lay down their lives for their friends. So we have to hold on to God's unchanging hands.

 

Psalm 91

New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 91

¹ Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High     will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.^{[a] 2} I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,     my God, in whom I trust.”

³ Surely he will save you     from the fowler’s snare     and from the deadly pestilence. ⁴ He will cover you with his feathers,     and under his wings you will find refuge;     his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. ⁵ You will not fear the terror of night,     nor the arrow that flies by day, ⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,     nor the plague that destroys at midday. ⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,     ten thousand at your right hand,     but it will not come near you. ⁸ You will only observe with your eyes     and see the punishment of the wicked.
