Would a Man Serve God for Nothing
Dr. David Davis
Job 1:1-12
Job 1:1-12: ''There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God and turning away from evil. (2) Seven sons and three daughters were born to him. (3) His possessions also were 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 female donkeys, and very many servants; and that man was the greatest of all the men of the east. (4) His sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one on his day, and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. (5) When the days of feasting had completed their cycle, Job would send and consecrate them, rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, ''Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.'' Thus Job did continually.(6) Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. (7) The LORD said to Satan, ''From where do you come?'' Then Satan answered the LORD and said, (8) The LORD said to Satan, ''Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil.'' (9) Then Satan answered the LORD, ''Does Job fear God for nothing? (10) ''Have You not made a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. (11) ''But put forth Your hand now and touch all that he has; he will surely curse You to Your face.'' (12) Then the LORD said to Satan, ''Behold, all that he has is in your power, only do not put forth your hand on him.'' So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord.''
The word for ''nought'' means ''out of favor.'' Does Job fear, serve, and worship God for nothing?
This whole story starts with Satan coming with the angels of God before the Lord. ...
