Job 1-5, Psalm 4
You heard correctly, we are jumping from Genesis to the book of Job, and this is our first jump across books in our chronological reading of the Old Testament. Set in the period of the patriarchs, this book gives us the account of a rich man who loses it all. Here in the first few chapters we are given a rare glimpse into the spiritual realm; scenes of the throne of God Almighty come into view. This God reigns so supremely that even His enemies must be granted permission to act. Satan despises Job and his devotion and does everything in his power to tempt Job into cursing God. While Job’s suffering was not brought about by sin, his friends try to convince him that such desolation only comes upon those who are sinful.
