Who are desperate for God?

In the book of Job, there lived a man called Job who is righteous in the eyes of God.

Job 1:1, "In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil."


Job’s First Test

6 One day the members of the heavenly court[a] came to present themselves before the Lord, and the Accuser, Satan,[b] came with them. 7 “Where have you come from?” the Lord asked Satan.

Satan answered the Lord, “I have been patrolling the earth, watching everything that’s going on.”

8 Then the Lord asked Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? He is the finest man in all the earth. He is blameless—a man of complete integrity. He fears God and stays away from evil.”

9 Satan replied to the Lord, “Yes, but Job has good reason to fear God. 10 You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does. Look how rich he is! 11 But reach out and take away everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face!”

12 “All right, you may test him,” the Lord said to Satan. “Do whatever you want with everything he possesses, but don’t harm him physically.” So Satan left the Lord’s presence.

One day Job was tested by Satan with permission of God. He lost almost everything in his life. But still he was desperate for God and his mighty will in his life. He was so desperate for God even in his suffering.


Being strong in God:

Some times people might discourage us when we are weak. But being faithful and still walking with God is very important in Christian life.

Job 2:9 when she suggests that Job curse God and die.

Job was suggested by his wife to curse God for their sufferings. But he was so still and faithful to God. Saying

Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised."

Job is not insane but he is spiritually matured as he loved the Lord with all his soul and mind.


Hope in God:

God says that he will never leave us nor forsake us.

Isaiah 43:1-2 The Lord who created you says: "Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you."

There is hope in God.

Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

What if we doubt God’s power and Love?

Mathew. 14:31 - "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
Mathew. 28:17 - "they worshipped Him, but some were doubtful."

Peter is one of the God’s disciples. He was so intimated with God all the time. But when God asks him to walk on water, He doubts and looses his faith.If we loose our faith, that’s it we are gone. Then Peter started to drown in water, but through God’s mercy, Jesus comes and lifts him.

We need to lift up spiritually in God’s Word everyday through faith and praying. So that we wont drown into water like difficulties.

What happens for people who are Righteous:

God answers our prayers definitely and truly

Job 38-1:2 "Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm. He said, 'Who is this that darkens my counsel with words without knowledge?'"

God answered Job’s prayers and again blessed him abundantly, abundantly, abundantly.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.—Romans 15:13

AMEN
