The resistance in the middle of the test brings the victory.
God loved Job so much and always testified that there was no man on earth who kept his principles as much as he did, so he blessed him in everything he did.
Job in the middle of everything he did and had, ignored the machinations of the enemy, never imagined that there was someone acechandolo day and night, which was not going to rest to see him fall.
One day, the children of God came to appear before the Lord, among whom Satan also came. And Jehovah said to Satan: Where do you come from? Satan answered Jehovah and said, "Look to the earth." And Jehovah said to Satan: Have you not considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on earth, a perfect and upright man, one who fears God and is separated? Satan answered the Lord and said: "Fear God." for nothing, have you not surrounded him, his house and everything he has? With the work of your hands you have given blessing, therefore, your resources have increased, extend your hand and touch everything you have, and you will see if it does not blaspheme against you in your own presence. "Jehovah said to Satan:" Behold, all that you have is in your hand, but do not lay your hand on it. "And Satan went out from before him.
In the midst of all the pain, he exclaimed and said Jehovah gave and the quito, exalted the name of its creator in the middle of the process, this man did not sin against God in the midst of the news that he received from his acquaintances, even though his being was in pain I never attribute offenses to its creator.
However, Satan was not going to leave his plans against Job, since he received no offenses from Job to Jehovah, insisted on destroying Job's relationship with God.
Satan returns to appear before God and ask for authority over the body of Job, God gives it to him, Satan sends an illness in the body to Job and in the midst of his misfortune his wife did not support him, encouraged him to deny God, however Job rebuked his wife for his words.
And three friends of Job, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, after they heard all this evil that had come upon him, came each from his place; because they had agreed to join in order to sympathize with him and comfort him. Those who raised their eyes from afar did not know him, and cried aloud; and each of them tore his cloak, and the powders were scattered on their heads toward the sky. Then they sat with him on the floor for seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke to him, because they saw that his pain was very great.
But Job could not stand his words and began to speak, cursed his day and longed for darkness to cover that day.
But the friends did not last to reproach him for his behavior.
They reproved his attitude and judged his situation.
Then Jehovah answered Job from a whirlwind, and said:
Who is that that obscures the council?
With words without wisdom?
Now gird up your loins like a man;
I will ask you and you will answer me.
Where were you when I founded the earth?
Let me know, if you have intelligence.
Who ordered your measurements, if you know it?
Or who stretched the line on that?
On what are your bases based?
Or who laid his cornerstone,
When all the stars of the morning praised,
And did all the children of God rejoice?
In addition, Jehovah answered Job, and said:
Is it wisdom to contend with the Almighty?
Despite the strong words that God told Job, the language of his love was felt in each of his words, That is why Job regrets having had inappropriate behavior in front of Him.
In the midst of his job calamities he does not offend God, only that his human condition reflects the pain he felt when he saw that everything he had worked so hard for and what he feared he had lost in a very short time.
The same thing also happens in our lives, many times we work untiringly for something, and we often fear losing it.
However, Job, in the midst of his process, resisted and remained in God, many times we yearn to obtain a prompt response of the process through which we are going through and the desperation comes as it happened with Job.
When all goes well, we are tested many times, Satan always walks looking at our lives, seeing the gap open to enter, aseha to see how much we can resist, trying to destroy our relationship with God.
However God has faith in us and allows the process so that in the middle of it, we adore his name and resist the snares of the enemy.
Resistance brings victory, each process is a teaching that comes from God to improve some areas of our lives, the process improves our relationship with it, it is strengthened, we learn and we see clearly what we could not see before.
The fidelity and trust we have in God is important to see achievements in us, that is why God sends greater blessings than before, as happened to Job.
And Jehovah blessed the last state of Job more than the first; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys, and he had seven sons and three daughters. God gave victory to this man and I do not leave him in shame in front of his enemies
