“So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job…”

Job 2:7

 Did Job know about this spiritual battle that was going on?

 I’m asking because today there are so many “experts” on spiritual warfare that I can’t keep up.

So many people are so caught up in their ideas of spiritual warfare that they don’t have much time for…

…God.

Weird.

“So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD…” and did Job even know?

The point I get from this verse is this: Job probably did NOT know what exactly was going on in the spiritual world, but he was going to learn a lot about what was going on in his heart!  I must ask myself the question, which should I deal with first?

I believe the Bible teaches us to deal with our heart, then we can have our spiritual armour on, and not be ignorant of Satan’s devices, then we can “Resist the devil”.  And then, whether we really know what is going on, or not, we can have a victory like Job had in the end.

“So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job…”
