Job’s faith in God’s majesty stayed strong. ![]() Job argues his case not only with his friends but with God! He wants to know what charge there is against him to cause all this to happen, BUT he NEVER curses God. His friends berate him and tell him he must have sinned in some way and done some terrible things for God to punish him this way. He loses his children, his livestock, his health and his wealth. Satan then proceeds to strip Job of everything he has and everyone he loves, except his wife and apparently his “friends”. So in what is sort of a “Trading Places” type “bet”, Hashem agrees to let Satan have at Job with the exception that he cannot touch his life. Satan then goes on to tell God that if He were to take everything from Job surely he would curse Him. Then Satan tells God, essentially, that it is no surprise that Job honors God and lives a godly and blameless life because there is a hedge around him and he is blessed. “ Adonai said to the satan, “Did you notice my servant Job? There is no one like him on the earth-a blameless and upright man, who fears God and spurns evil.“ tlv Then God goes on to ask Satan in verse 8: “From roaming the earth and from walking on it.” tlv ![]() God asked Satan where he comes from and Satan tells Him in Job 1:7: The Book of Job opens with this scene in Job 1:6 where Satan came with the sons of God, the angels, into the presence of the Lord.

Curse God and die!’ (Job 2:9), and yet in the midst of this he said he knew His Savior lives. In Job 19:25, when Job was going through the worst of times and suffering, he says “Yet I know that my Redeemer lives, and in the end, He will stand on earth.” (TLV)īerated by Job’s friends, covered in sores, he has lost all his children and everything he owned. So let’s dig into this study and learn about his unshakable faith in his Redeemer! Praising God and His majesty and glory when we are suffering is extreme worship and a true sacrifice of praise because we are moving past our feelings to our faith. In this story of Job in the Bible, we will look at the faith of Job in the darkest of trials and find examples and declarations of faith in God’s sovereignty for all of us to emulate.
