Day 224 - Read Job 1-3

Job did right in the eyes of God. He had seven sons and three daughters. His wealth was greater than any other in the east. Satan claimed Job was upright because God blessed him. God gave Satan permission to take from Job, but not to touch him. Satan caused Job to lose his children and possessions, but Job worshipped God and would not sin against Him. God allowed Satan to cause sores to form on Job, but Job did not sin against God. Job’s wife told Job to curse God, but he would not curse or sin against God. Three friends sat with him for seven days without speaking because of his great suffering. Job voiced his hurt and anger from his pain and sorrow.
