1:6 Invisible Warfare Job was not aware of the discussion between God and Satan. Like Job, we often are unaware of the invisible warfare surrounding us and thus fail to see the higher purposes of God in allowing suffering and pain.
1:9-11 Trust Satan challenged God on two fronts: whether Job served and worshiped God for what he got out of it, and whether God had to “buy” worshipers by prospering them. When we are stretched by suffering or disability, do we continue to worship and trust the Lord?
1:20-22 Perseverance Amazingly, through all of his intense suffering, Job worshiped God! The key is that Job continued to trust in the sovereign God, even when there was no explanation for his great suffering. True worship does not depend on our feelings or our physical condition; it is rooted in our faith in a loving God (Rom 8:28).
