The glory of man
No one goes to the doctor when they are not sick;
No one looks for a light when they are not in the dark;
No matter how bright the light may be, it will not solve a blind man’s problem.
No matter how high a sound may be, a deaf person will not hear it…
No one can be saved if they do not considered themselves lost.
No one has an encounter with God by chance.
There must be a reason for someone to seek and find Him.
Job was righteous and upright, God-fearing and avoided evil;
He obeyed the spiritual and moral demands that pleased the Lord.
But he did not know Him.
Divine permission was necessary for the devil to cause him pain and create a need for him to know the greatness of the Lord, which Job wanted, but did not know.
And have a need for Salvation.
The devil helped the Lord?
No. But God turned something evil into something good.
The Joseph's envious brothers sold him into slavery.
They intended evil against him. But God turned that into something good, to save many people.
"You meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive," Genesis 50.20
Satan’s stupidity created the necessary conditions for Job to know God.
He continues to be stupid.
Creating the same situation of despair for mankind.
However, man has wasted the opportunity of finding himself lost, in order to seek Salvation.
God is the same, the devil is the same and mankind is the same.
God continues to want to save lives and provide an eternal life of quality;
The devil still wants to kill, steal and destroy;
Man continues lost in his physical and emotional dilemmas, and forgets about his spirit.
"Thus says the LORD: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, exercising loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,’ says the LORD." Jeremiah 9.23-24
