From the author:
"The Bible is full of examples of people who glorified God by their willingness to carry out His plan for their lives even though Satan opposed them on every side. They never abandoned their commitment to God and His ways. Though 'infected' by the Fall, they willingly submitted to the 'Master-Trainer's' cure and never betrayed their loyalty to Him."
Questions:
It's your turn for input!
1. Name one person in Bible times who fit the above description and list the Scripture reference(s) that share their story (or one particular example in their lives).
2. Tell about how the opposition the person you chose faced as they submitted to God and His ways. Did they always willingly submit? Did they ever blow it and get a second chance from God?
3. What do you think their view is about their struggle on earth...now that they are looking back from the perspective of eternity in Heaven?

1. Job; The book of Job is about Job's suffering.
2. God allowed Job to be tempted by Satan. Job lost everything including his family, but he stayed true to God. Job was even tempted by his wife and friends which was probably really hard for him. He always willingly submitted to God, and never blew it.
3. I am sure he looks back and thinks WOW i really went through all of that?!?! Because he had God with him every step of the way, he probably didn't realize the magnitude of it all. I am sure he is proud of what he did.
