Job 30:1, “But now they mock at me, men younger than I, Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock.
Before men used to listen to his wisdom (Job 29:21), but now even men whom he wouldn’t put in charge of the dogs mock him! ONE THING TO REMEMBER HERE IS THAT JESUS WAS ALSO MOCKED BY MEN!
Joh 19:3, Then they said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they struck Him with their hands.
Today, Christians are counted as crazy because of our faith in CHRIST JESUS! THE WORLD HATED HIM THEY WILL ALSO HATE US!
Job 30:8-10, THEY WERE SONS OF FOOLS, Yes, SONS OF VILE MEN; They were scourged from the land. “AND NOW I AM THEIR TAUNTING SONG; Yes, I AM THEIR BYWORD. They abhor me, they keep far from me; They do not hesitate to spit in my face.
Because of Job’s faith in the living GOD, he is enduring the attack of satan through these men! WE ALSO HAVE OUR OWN TRIALS BECAUSE OF OUR FAITH IN THE LIVING GOD!
Heb 11:36, STILL OTHERS HAD TRIAL OF MOCKINGS AND SCOURGINGS, YES, AND OF CHAINS AND IMPRISONMENT.
Job 30:11, BECAUSE HE HAS LOOSED MY BOWSTRING AND AFFLICTED ME, They have cast off restraint before me.
Job believes that GOD has weaken him, but we know that this is an attack by satan, which GOD Allowed! GOD WILL NEVER TEMP YOU TO SIN AGAINST HIM LIKE SATAN WANTS JOB TO DO (Job 1:11)! “HE (Job) WILL SURELY CURSE YOU (GOD) TO YOUR FACE!”
Jas 1:13, NLT, And remember, WHEN YOU ARE BEING TEMPTED, DO NOT SAY, “GOD IS TEMPTING ME.” God is never tempted to do wrong, and HE NEVER TEMPTS ANYONE ELSE.
WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF WHO OUR TRUE ENEMY IS AND WHO IS TEMPTING US!
Eph 6:10-11, Finally, my brethren, BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT. PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL.
