Skin for skin

Would you like to read James McNaught’s novel Sinking Sand”? click here: Sinking Sand

(The views expressed in this blog are my own and should not be taken as inspired in any way.)
Job 2:1–6, “Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD. And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. 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? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.”
Satan was proved to be wrong and the Lord right. However, Satan wasn't willing to admit that he might be wrong so he manufactured another lie about Job. He suggested that Job was only righteous because Job still had his health. However, the Lord knows the end from the beginning and He also knew that Job’s experience would prove to be valuable in Job’s life as well as a good example for anyone else who reads this history. It is good to note that the Lord isn’t cruel and causes one person to suffer for another’s benefit. There is alway good for any individual who trusts in the Lord and obeys Him.
