Satan answered the lord, “I have been patrolling the earth, watching everything that’s going on.”

Then the lord asked Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? He is the finest man in all the earth. He is blameless—a man of complete integrity. He fears God and stays away from evil.”

In all of this, Job did not sin by blaming God.

Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and nights. No one said a word to Job, for they saw that his suffering was too great for words.

“Oh, why give light to those in misery,
and life to those who are bitter?

Oh to have the spirit of Job.

Lord God,
Help me to see the truth in the example of Job. Protect me from Satan as he patrols the earth using the goodness we get from you against us. Allow me to take delight in surrendering my will to you each moment of each day.

In Jesus name,
Amen
