Solo with Job
Right now in Solo I'm in the middle of the story of Job. Last year when I was reading the One Year Bible I had a real problem with this story. In order to prove a point to Satan, God decides to take away everything from Job. It's interesting that this story comes during Lent. Isn't that the time when Jesus went into the desert and was tempted by Satan? Jesus doesn't fall for it and stands firm against evil, refusing to be tempted. Why then, was God so easily taken in when he agreed to Satan's suggestion that Job was only loyal to God because he was so well taken care of by God? This has been such an uneasy point for me. Obviously I'm missing something. Asher, help me out.
