The Mystical Which means of the Story of Job

Inside the story of Job, Yahweh asks Satan to contemplate how "perfect and upright" Job is and how he "turns away from evil." Satan replies, "Does Job not fear you for any purpose? You have blessed the operate of his hands and his substance is elevated in the land. But place forth your hand now and touch all he has, and he will curse you to your face." In other words we do not honor God due to the fact we love our Creator but since we fear losing our material riches and comforts if we offend Him. It really is our wealth and physical well-being that matters to us, not our loving, mutually considerate connection with God.
To this accusation Yahweh instructs Satan to test Job to find out if this really is so. Job endures the dreadful tests with out cursing Yahweh. Afterwards, Job tries to explain Yahweh's causes. Job wanted to put Yahweh on trial for his unrighteous acts against a righteous man. Yahweh than demands Job search his heart for deeper answers toHis query, "Where were you when I laid the foundations with the Earth?" (Job 38:1-7) Job drops to his knees realizing the unquestionable greatness of God. He is reminding Job that a godly component of us was with God when he laid the foundations with the Earth. We've usually been a element of God, and often will be.
