Job 2 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read Job 2.

Meditate on verse 3.

 

The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job?

For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright

 man fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still holds

 fast his integrity, although you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause."

 

Satan’s reason for attacking Job, a God-fearing, honorable man, was to get him to lose his integrity.  Yet, despite losing his ten children, servants, 11,500 head of livestock, and being diseased with boils from his head to his toes, “Job did not sin with his lips” (Job 1:2-3, 13-19; 2:10).  Incredible!

 

Be mindful of Satan’s schemes when you are being attacked; his goal is to incite you to sin and lose your integrity.  The psalmist David was often attacked by the enemy; hear what he said to God about his integrity:

 

Let integrity and uprightness preserve

me, for I wait for You.

—Psalm 25:21

As for me, You uphold me in my integrity, and

You set me in Your presence forever.

—Psalm 41:12

 

No matter what is happening in your life right now, wait for God to deliver you.  As a Christian, you abide in His presence forever; He will uphold you.

 

Pray Job 2:3 and 10 over yourself and others in difficult situations as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, keep ___________ and me blameless, upright, fearing

You, and turning away from evil.  Let us still hold fast our

 integrity, although it feels like You are against us to ruin us

without cause.  God, shall we indeed accept good from You and

not accept adversity?  Do not let us sin with our lips.

In Your name, Jesus~”
