Faith is confidence and trust in what God wants for you, that God works only good for you....Fear on the other hand is trust in what Satan can and will do to you....Both are a tool that one uses deliberately or not. When one operates in one he cannot operate in the other simultaneously. He operates in Faith or in fear....And no lie! If you operate in faith, Satan can do nothing to you....If you operate in fear, God can do nothing.....So...
Deuteronomy 30:19-20 (CJB)
19 “I call on heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have presented you with life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore, choose life, so that you will live, you and your descendants, 20 loving Adonai your God, paying attention to what he says and clinging to him — for that is the purpose of your life! On this depends the length of time you will live in the land Adonai swore he would give to your ancestors Avraham, Yitz’chak and Ya‘akov.” Choose faith....Choose LIFE
Mr Quantrill said. "
So why did God send it? It is interesting that God never told Job why. God never told Job about satan coming before Him and God bringing attention to Job. Job lived during a time when there was no written revelation. He and others understood that obedience brings blessing and disobedience brings judgement. But Job had not been disobedient. He knew it. But his friends operated on the same belief. Obedience brings blessing and disobedience brings judgement. Thus Job must have done something wrong to be going through this suffering, they believed.
Suffering or bad things happening to believers is not always the result of sin in their lives. It may well be part of the bigger picture of the spiritual war that God is always involved in. And God is free to do with His creation as He so sees fit. Without question. Had Job not undergone this trial, and it happened to one of his friends in the same manner, Job would have had the same attitude as his three friends had of him.
So Job was never told why, and knows not to question, and faithfully accepts the just decisions of the Almighty. No matter how grievous they may be." This is fine as long as you realize it's all supposition.
