The Story of Job
The Story of Job
I'm sure you remember
the story of Job.
God's blessings in his life
were greatly bestowed.
The Devil came to speak to God one day.
"I'm sure Job will curse you if I
take everything away."
Everything in Job's life seemed to be getting worse.
Through all of this, to God,
he never cursed.
All that he had-was soon to ge gone.
His "friends" told him it
"was his fault-he was wrong."
He blessed God in spit of all they had said.
He would praise God until
the day he was dead.
In all the loss and the turmoils.
His body would soon be covered with boils.
He loved God even though he lost his possessions.
Spending eternity in heaven was his obsession.
If everything in your lie was taken from you.
Would you bless or curse God
-what would you do?
Is he more important than
your house or s.u.v.?
Would you give him up for a "big screen t.v.?"
Is he your prized possession
whom you love so much?
Or are you using Christianity as simply a crutch?
For one day soon-all you have
will certainly perish.
Is it God--or this world--
you love and cherish?
