Most usually when you are getting ready to assign a task, you choose
the most qualified. You generally don’t
choose the weakest member of the group, you pick someone who will get the job
done. Someone you trust and have
confidence in: someone you believe
in. If you are the overseer, you want to
know that when that whatever the job assigned, your person will do it, do it
well, and get it finished.
I feel like Job was God’s “person”. When the satan came around, the Lord knew
exactly who He wanted for the job. He
knew that Job had faith and trust in Him and wouldn’t back down. He would stand through any tests and
temptations, firm. Job was the person
for the job. When things got tough, and
we all can read how tough it actually got, the Lord had confidence in His
servant. The Lord knew Job’s heart. He trusted him to do the job, do it well, and
finish the task.
How many times things pop
up in our lives that don’t seem to be the best of situations. You feel tested and tried and spent on every
level. Life gets hard. I want to be the kind of servant, like Job,
that the Lord has utmost confidence in.
The kind of servant that He can say, “have you considered my servant
Amy?” The kind of servant He can depend
on.
So when tests and trials knock us down,
and they will, keep an unwavering faith…the Lord may have specifically chosen
the best servant, you, for that particular test.
“And
the Lord said unto satan, “Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is
none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God,
and escheweth evil?
Job
1:8 KJV
