God is Soverign

13. February 2008 by Bernice Davis.

I was reading the story of Job the other day and I was fascinated as I read the text. As, I grow older, I can see the sovernity of God in every situation.  Often, when you hear the story of Job, you hear about all the suffering that he went through and how the “devil”  really messed with him and took all his posessions, including his children.  For a lot of people, they focus on what Satan was doing.  However, when I read the story of Job this time, I asked what was God doing.  The text says that God asked Satan; “Have you considered my servant Job.”  Satan wasn’t even thinking about Job.  It was God who proposed that Satan test Job.  Somehow, this made me feel really safe.  It let’s me know that nothing can happen unless God allows it.    God knows best and “all things do work together for our good.”    I’m learning that no matter what test or trial comes my way, it teaches me something about myself and God.   So be encouraged, and know that God knows best!!!!!!!!!!!!
