Job 1-11

When I had just begun reading, the thought of God taking away every possession from an innocent man didn´t really make me feel to good. This was the first encounter we have read between God and Satan, and I wondered why God had to accept the offer if he was creator and had nothing to prove. Then I realized that this test was the only true way to see if deep inside, Gods creations were good or evil. They took the ¨perfect¨ human because if he failed, everyone would.

Satan sends the first four messages in one day, making Job suffer allot, but continue having faith in God. It´s the next torture (skin soars) that makes the man wish he had never been born. Three of Job’s friends, Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, come to visit him. This is when the importance of friendship comes in. Whenever your having doubts about life, you can always turn to them for help.
