In the book of Job, right after the description of Job and what a wealthy, Godly man he was, an interesting thing happens; Satan comes to God along with all the angels and tells Him that he has been wandering the earth. God, knowing He was wandering the earth to attack God’s children, mentions Job as a prime example of a man following God, but Satan challenges this by saying Job only loves God because God has blessed Him so much and once you take that away He will curse God like many others. God basically responds by telling Satan, “you think so? Ok go for it, take whatever you want, but don’t touch Job.” Satan takes away everything destroying all of Job’s cattle, killing his servants and even killing his children. Job literally gets the news of each tragedy back to back. The Bible says while one servant was giving him the news the next servant walked up and started talking. So you are talking about a man that within minutes has everything he has taken away from him. However, Job’s reaction is extraordinary.
