Wanda:
--- Quote ---Job was so good, even Satan could not find anything wrong with him.
God found something wrong.
Page after page, God compares Himself, God, to Job.
Job finally understood and got it and repented in dust and ashes.
--- End quote ---
Thank you John, that is the most profound message in the book of Job.

Lately I’ve been a target . Strange things happening to me.
Thank you very much for your wise advise.
I love my BT family, thank God for all of you and God Bless You.❤️
ML:
On Job, wanted to bring up something.
For example, in 2:10, it says he did not sin with his lips. Does it say he did not sin? No, it says he did not sin with his lips.
Significant?
Prune Soleiado:
Satan IS God’s creature, if he couldn’t find any sin about Job it makes sense since Human thoughts are demonic, and we know men consider themselves not being that evil.
Two scriptures are interesting in showing that Satan is a creation of God and that he’s not in control but God is:
1 Chronicles 21:1: « Satan rose up against Israel and INCITED David to take a census of Israel. »
2 Samuel 24:1: « Again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he INCITED David against them, saying, “Go, number Israel and Judah. »
Then if God considers Job have something evil in his heart to be cleansed: God finds it for sure!
And we can be sure, as human as we are, there’s something always to be cleansed in our hearts until we are in Jesus’ image!
Jeremiah 17:9: « The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.Who can understand it? »
Wanda:
In Job 29 Job is boasting of many of his good works.
12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
16 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
Matthew 6:2
"So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
Proverbs 27:2
Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips.
In Job ch. 31 Job is pleading his case before his friends who had turned on him. He's laying before them the many things he can not be judged guilty against God or man for.
And so it is in Job 32:1 The three men stopped answeing Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Self-righteous people tend to justify themselves by blaming others, and it is a very difficult sin to get people to see and condemn in themselves.
In the New Testament, Jesus and the apostle Paul came down particularly hard on those who attempted to live in self-righteousness.
Romans 3:10
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:”
1 John 1:8
If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
