FAITH CAPSULE: <\/strong>Regardless of your challenge, approach God with thanks\nand joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Job 1<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giving thanks to God should be rooted in the heart, not just in the tongue.
One that knows to give thanks to God should approach God with joy.\u00a0Ephesians 5:20 states, \u201cGiving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0
Do you know to give thanks to access to the presence of God?
Be thankful and be joyful before God.
The Bible records,\u00a0\u201cRejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice!\u201d (Philippians 4:4)\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
Psalm 9:2, \u201cI will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to your name, O most High.\u201d Psalm 16:11, \u201cIn Your presence is fullness of joy\u2026\u201d Proverbs 8:30, \u201c\u2026I was daily His delight, rejoicing, always before Him.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>The scriptural verses testify that without joy, God is not accessible. Apostle Paul stated well,\u00a0\u201cRejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice!\u201d (Philippians 4:4)\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>The calling for joy by the Apostle Paul was expressed with simplicity, emphasis, and with a shout!
In every meeting with God, all His children must go before Him with joy. To come before God is celebrating with joy, the evidence of a thankful heart.
Let it be clear to you that the evil one never shies away from where there is a joy, but with his plan to convert one with joy to sadness.\u00a0
Also, let it be aware to you that your calling is to maintain your joy regardless of challenges.\u00a0
In the life of Job, Satan was at work to turn around joy to sad of Job.
The book of Job 1:6-7<\/em><\/strong>records,\u00a0\u201cNow there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them And the LORD said to Satan, \u201cFrom where do you come?\u201d So, Satan answered the LORD and said, \u201cFrom going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.\u201d (Job 1:6-7)\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
Every interruption of Satan is always with bad intentions.\u00a0
The Satan is empowered to go to and fro looking for one to devour.\u00a0
It was the Satan that initiates pain for Job while he was where the sons of God are gathering in His presence. Bible documents,\u00a0\u201cBut now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!\u201d And the LORD said to Satan, \u201cBehold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.\u201d So, Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(Job 1:11-12)<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0
Can you imagine how the wicked one delivered every form of affliction over the life of Job?\u00a0
In between and through it all, Job did not complain before God and did not condemn God. Job cried to God, and he eventually received more blessings after his time of testing times, than when he first started to enjoy all that God bestowed upon him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
