Integrity of Job
Can you imagine how faithful Job was?
He didn’t know why he was tested, because
He was totally ignorant of Satan’s insistence.
This manslayer could harm him even at a distance.
This rebellious angel wanted to believe,
That if he robbed Job, God he would leave.
Then, as he kept faithful even though all was gone,
The devil stole his health, to see if he’d go on.
As if that weren’t enough, ---what insult!
His so-called friends said he was at fault.
In all his distresses, Job did not give up.
His integrity was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.
After a time, for his friends he implored,
Then God gave him more than he had before.
Today, Satan’s tactics still haven’t changed,
Hence in God’s love, we strive to remain.
Just a little while longer and our Savior will judge,
Removing the haughty and evil from us.
The meek will then take possession of the earth
And blessings will abound forever more.
(book of Job) (James 5:11)
