2 Kings 20:1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
2nd Kings 20:2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, saying, 3 I beseech thee O Lord, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore…. These are just 3 of the deep theological questions which most likely haunted Job, as he rolled these questions over, and over again in his mind.
In our day, the same questions may surface in our minds, as we see the devastations and adversities coming upon the earth. As was stated before, there are instances when we may not be entirely immune, because having faith in God may not insulate us from all trouble every time. And the questions which churned in Job’s mind may begin swirling around in our hearts, especially as we might be affected, some more, some less.
The question of being worthy may arise in times of sickness, and trouble, especially if we’ve been very faithful in serving, loving, and obeying God. Then the question of whether or not God has granted permission to the devil to cause adverse situations may give some persons cause for concern.
Job 2:6 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life. 7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
May God add His blessing to the study of his word. “Good night” and God bless!
