/*"Have you considered my servant Job?" -- Job 1:8*/

The LORD initiates a dialogue with Satan, and He brings up the topic of 
Job's righteousness. What can we learn from that?

First of all, consider this: God doesn't lose. He went into this 
exchange fully knowing that He would win Satan's challenge. God was very 
willing to put one of us (i.e., Job) on display, fully knowing that He 
(God) would emerge triumphant and would bring us along with Him.

Satan would like us to believe that Job was righteous because he was 
well paid to be righteous. But God took this opportunity to show the 
whole universe that His righteousness runs far deeper than that. 
Throughout history, men and women of faith have clung to their love for 
God even when it appeared that God had forgotten and abandoned them.

This faithfulness is God's work in us. The roots of this faithfulness 
run deep, far too deep for the enemy's claws to reach.

What will sustain us in our hour of need? God's work in us. God is the 
Victor, even when the war is waged in a fallible human heart.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
