So, this is an introduction to a series on the life of a man called Job (in the Bible).
Recently, I studied the book of Job. After about a week, I realize that God wants me to review what I learned. I believe this will be beneficial to everyone who reads and takes time to think about how “events of life” happen and shape us into what we were, what we are now, and what we will become in the future.
The first lesson I am going to share is that nothing happens without the knowledge of God.
Yes, God knows about everything because He is an all-knowing God.
O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. Psalm 139:1
You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. Psalm 139:2
Man is limited in many ways. For instance, I may not be able to do 100% justice to this work for some reasons. My mind could blackout if I am unsettled. I may experience disturbance from my environment. If my mind is unclear, it means that I may not hear God perfectly. Also, the equipment I use could malfunction and break down, etc. My point is that Man encounters a lot of difficulties and challenges in life for which he has little explanation, whereas God does not have any of these.
So, man is limited, but God is unlimited.
The other factor that is important here is the adversary. Yes, there is always an adversary, and the ultimate adversary of man (any man) is the devil.
From the beginning, the devil has been an adversary of both man and God.
Therefore, whenever you are in any confusing situation, it’s either you missed it; or the devil got you.
God never misses it because He is God, and He does all things well.
God called the dry ground “land” and the waters “seas.” And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:10
There are so many things to discuss. So, please sit tight, and let’s dive deep into this.
