As we continue to look at lessons learned from Job, the next thing we can say is that we should never question that God is always with us if we are His followers.  Job was held up as a representative of a righteous man, but when extreme adversity came, he questioned God.  Job was not being punished because of some sin, but God was allowing his faith to be tested.  It was sad that Job did not just continue to put his faith in God without question.  It is even more so for followers of Christ to question God's fairness to them since the Holy Spirit dwells in us.  As long as we surrender to the leadership of the Holy Spirit, we can never feel abandoned by God.  Too often though, we let our material or physical situation cause us to question God.  Job had not only lost his wealth, family and friends, but he had lost his health as well.  We must learn from Job that if we are followers of Christ that we will never be abandoned by Him.   Also, we need to learn from Job's friends that we are never correct in attempting to judge others.  These three friends really felt that they knew more about God than Job did, and they attempted to force their knowledge on Job.  We can never be guilty of attempting to make God comply to our understanding and remain faithful to Him.  In all cases, we must submit to God's will, no matter what the circumstances of life might be.  We can also learn that there is nothing in the universe as a whole or the earth in particular that is more powerful than God.  Rather than being a cosmic accident, the universe is God's creation and operates under His will.  We may have the power to destroy much of the world, but God can destroy it all with only a thought.  Still, due to His love for the people He created, God continues to sustain the world so that more people might be reconciled to Him.  One last lesson that we can learn is that God is always ready to reconcile people to Himself if they will only put their faith in Him.  Though Job felt abandoned by God when his world fell apart and questioned God's presence, God had not left Job.  If we feel that we are out of God's presence, it is because of our moving out of His will and not because He has abandoned us.  If we lose everything in this world, God is still with us.  If our faith falters, God stands ready to forgive and bring us into a right relationship with Him once more.  This can never be based on material possessions, but must always be based on a spiritual relationship.  Next we will look at the book of Galatians.
