JL I see your a man of faith..but I just to put things in its proper perspective.
God did put Job to the test! God and Satan had a wager that Job will start cursing God once he (Satan) will inflict him with tremendous sickness, financial difficulties and you name it...Job even had a terrible infectious disease believed to be Leprosy at time which is considered no cure! ..
God said you can do anything to him but you promise me you would not kill him!
And the wager was set!!! We all know Job even sang praises to God despite all the tribulations he was inflicted upon. He did not once blame God for putting him to the test! We know how the story ended.
You see God dont look at your goodly deeds He looks at your heart! Just like how he used King David!
King David is the most sinful man in the bible but God exonerated him and made him King! Why?
That is why when we pray the Lords Prayer! We say thou shall not put us to the test but deliver us from evil! Amen.
Because we all know we all fall short of how Job’s heart towards God.
That is a fact!
But its possible!
Do you think God is doing a wager with Satan again this time of the Pandemic?
Only our faith could answer that!
