Job...wut a guy.

Whenever u guys get the chance...read Job, like the whole book (although i didn't yet).

I've only read the beginning few chapters, nd i must say...Job is one interesting guy. I mean, the whole "experience" through out the book...is just amazing. I always knew what Job was about, but never really took the time to read it. Reading the Bible yourself, is definitely a whole lot different from ppl just telling u about it.

In the book, God makes it so obviouss that Job is being "tested". Like, the way all the events come together...so organized. Didn't seem like a coincidence (well, it wasn't). Felt so unrealistic. Tht God made it purposely seem that way. It was realli "in ur face" kinda thing...God didn't try to hide it. He clearly planned that all out (of course). When I read it, I was like "there's no way tht could ever happen in reality". Cuse...it jus wouldn't. But God causes the unreal to become real...cuse He's God. Well, actually let me clarify, Satan was the one who brought all the torment and suffering on Job. But God was ultimately behind it...He allowed everything. He was also still in control...still working. He had all the power.

Throughout the story, i thought some things were kinda funny (not actually funny..but u no wut i mean):

- When God allowed Job to be tested, He had a lot of other ppl killed in the process (eg. servants, sons/daughters, cattle). How could He allow sumthin like tht to happen just for ONE person to be "tested". Tht's a huge sacrifice. Wut of the other ppl? Do their lives not really matter that much? that they could be used as sacrifice to test one person...which was thought to be worthy?

- It was kinda funny how out of each "unfortunate disaster", ONE servant out of each disaster managed to survive and tell Job about it. There were 4 unfortunate events in a row, and the servants all came at the same time, in an orderly fashion.

Through this book...I really see...tht God's someone who can "Give...then take away".


In this book...it displays Satan's power...and God's mightier power.



Interesting: When does Satan go to heaven?....when he talks to God.
