HEAR Journaling Job Chapter 2

Highlight – Job 2:1-10 New Living Translation

2 One day the members of the heavenly court[a] came again to present themselves before the Lord, and the Accuser, Satan,[b] came with them. 

2 “Where have you come from?” the Lord asked Satan. Satan answered the Lord, “I have been patrolling the earth, watching everything that’s going on.” 

3 Then the Lord asked Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? He is the finest man in all the earth. He is blameless—a man of complete integrity. He fears God and stays away from evil. And he has maintained his integrity, even though you urged me to harm him without cause.”

4 Satan replied to the Lord, “Skin for skin! A man will give up everything he has to save his life. 5 But reach out and take away his health, and he will surely curse you to your face!”

6 “All right, do with him as you please,” the Lord said to Satan. “But spare his life.” 

7 So Satan left the Lord’s presence, and he struck Job with terrible boils from head to foot.

8 Job scraped his skin with a piece of broken pottery as he sat among the ashes. 

9 His wife said to him, “Are you still trying to maintain your integrity? Curse God and die.”

10 But Job replied, “You talk like a foolish woman. Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?” So in all this, Job said nothing wrong.

Explain – The Lord asked Satan if he had noticed that Job was still faithful to God despite all the Satan had done to him.  Satan said that if he could attack his health, Job would surely curse God.  So, again God permitted Satan to attack Job’s health, but must not kill him.  Job was infested with boils from head to foot!  Job’s wife even tempted Job to curse God, but Job was firm in his faithfulness to God despite his circumstances!

Apply – We too can learn to trust God in any and all circumstances, knowing that He will be with us through all our adversities.  We will be tempted to cry out and complain to God, or even curse Him, but we must be resolute in our faithfulness.

Respond – Lord, thank You for my salvation and my relationship with You.  Thank You for my Brother Job and his testimony of standing strong in his faithfulness with You.  I strive to abide in You as You abide in me, to faithfully and obediently follow You consistently and continuously withstanding the temptations to turn from You.  Amen.
