Reading the 2nd chapter of Job and how it begins the same way as chapter one, where satan has to ask permission from God. It made me think of Jesus telling Peter, that satan had asked to sift him as wheat, but Jesus was praying for him. Luke 22:31. Then he was to turn back and strengthen his brothers... God is never NEVER unaware of the suffering that we go through. No one wants to go through it, even Jesus asked for the cup of suffering to be removed. But because he did the will of his Father, just like some other people I know right now in their suffering, accepting the will of what God is allowing them to go through, they are receiving a power and peace that only they can explain. When you know people like this, they are such an inspiration. You can see God all over them. There is no other way to explain it. Our lives are to bring God glory. God will always give His power with purpose. Isaiah 46:10, " My purpose will be established, and I accomplish all my good pleasure." God uses his power to accomplish his will. Then be like Paul and pray, Ephesians 3:19-20 , ..."be filled up to all the fullness of God." He's able!!
To God be the glory
