"Hope in Jehovah" - HOW CAN WE IMITATE JOB?

 The account about Job teaches us that Satan cannot force us to abandon Jehovah and that Jehovah is aware of every situation.  Job's experience can also help us to have a better understanding of the issues involved.  Consider som eof the specific lessons that we can learn from Job.

Job proved dthat if we continue to trust in Jehovah, we can endure any trial and successfully oppose Satan.  With what result?  The Scriptures assure us that the Devil will flee from us. - Read JAMES 4:7. 

Note: But beware, Satan will not give up; he will keep coming back to try to persuade us any way he can to go against Jehovah.  So, be ready.

We need to cling to the resurrection hope. As mentopmed in the preceding article, Satan often uses fear of death in an effort to cause us to renounce our integrity.  In Job's case, Satan claimed that Job would do anything, even compromises his intergrity to save his life. Satan was wrong.  Even in Job's darkedst moment when death seemed inevitable, He did not compromise.  His confidence in Jehovah's goodness and his strong hop  that Jehovah would eventually make things right, sustained him.  Job had faith that if Jehovah didd not set matters straight while he was alive, He would step in and resurrect Job in the future.  The hope of the resurrection was real to Job.  If that hope is real to us, not even the threat of death will cause us to break our integrity.
