HE KNOWS!
Once upon a time, there was a man in the Land of Uz, whose name was Job. His life account as revealed in the Bible stipulates that he was a God fearing man who was upright, blameless, and shunned evil. Job was very rich and full of possessions. The Bible inThings were going on smoothly and as expected for Job until one day, things started turning around. He started losing everything including his flocks, herdsmen, children and all his possession. His health started failing him and at the climax of his affliction, his wife also deserted him. What nobody sought for Job was what he was experiencing. He wondered and could not comprehend. His friends and relatives could not fathom this havoc and accused him of a misdeed. Nobody knew that Job’s suffering was a direct result of the great controversy battle between Christ and Satan. The great enemy of mankind was the one who had brought up Job before the throne of God. Satan sought to destroy Job through diverse forms of affliction.
Just as Satan set out to destroy Job, so is he on our tracks today. The Bible makes it clear that the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (
But the nature of God itself reveals that, nothing in man’s life catches Him off-guard. As an omniscient Being, the secret things belong to Him. He knows the end from the beginning (
To the church in Smyrna, He promised; "9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. 10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life" (
Are you in a dilemma? Are you perplexed? Do you fear for the future? Do you feel like God is absent? Never worry! Oh God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow (
