WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN WILL STILL TRUST IN GOD -WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN WILL STILLTRUST

(THE BOOK OF JOB ch1 starting at verse 6>7>8 ) As we began to read this tex we here god give us a personal profile on this man called job. (v1)He speaks of how perfect and upright job was you no when god calls you perfect and upright that means he has eyes on you.BUT the book goes on also tell us that he feared god and ran from evil so we see God is giveing us job personal profile all in (verse1 ).I wonder if god had to give your personal profile could he do it in one verse or would it take up five or six pages. So god goes on to tell us the type of man he created then god goes on to show us all the things he blessed job with for being those to words perfect and upright You did know god will bless with things. SO god continues to let us know who job was in (v2). He tells us how he bless job with 7sons and 3 daughters then god goes on to tell us about { HIS }stuff that he blessed him with. God calls it substance the bible says his substance was 7000 this-3000 that-500 of -500 what and a great household.So as we continue to study this book we find that job was a man who was concern about how children were living there lives. The bible says after a night of feasted or partying with there sibling the bible says job would get up early in the morning and go to god on there behalf and make a burnt offering according to number of them you see jobs says it may be that my sons may have sinned against god so I"m preparing for there salvation.SO the bible says he did this continually, So as we continue to study this book we see a change about to happen in this man life, The word says the sons or angles came to present or meet with god and word says satin came also. How many of us know that satin keeps up on current affairs so in bible days this was a current affair. So the bible says he came also and we here the master asking satin the question that would change this man name jobs life. SO he ask the question where have you come form and we here the answer from going to and fro in the earth and walking up and down in it. So now we start to here a concerns in god voice when he ask the question have you considered my servant job God says there is none like him on earth perfect and upright who runs from evil. So as we continue to take a look at this tex we here satin answer and at that moment we realize that satin was aware of this man but satin decides not to waste his time you see satin is looking for people he need not waste movement on, So he answers god with these words haven't you bless this man don't you have a hedge around him don't you have a hedge around his house and most of all don"t you have a hedge on all four sides of him.I have considered him yes bout i'm not going to waste my time or energy OH to god be the glory if we could only be like job perfect and upright . As we continue to read we here satin words to god put forth or remove your hands from all that you have bless him with and he will curse to your face. But as we keep our eyes on word of god we see god staying in control and we here the master words all that he has is know in your hands SO We here god giving direction to satin we SEE god never losing control so we began to here gods speaking to satin saying of the man do not touch OH thats word in it self do not touch. So god says of the man do not touch.
his soul do not touch his salvation. But of his stuff have at it. Did you know satin don"t want your stuff he wants soul he wants your salvation you know some of us have a lot of stuff and we forget it"s not our stuff it"s gods and when satin start to mess with gods stuff some of us will give it right up TELL someone don"t mess with gods stuff.So as we continue to read we see job being put in line of fire the bible says it came a time when job sons and daughters were having a get together at eldest brother house the bible says a messenger came with bad news while your sons and daughters partying the oxen were plowing getting ready to bless him some more and the asses were feeding beside them and he goes to inform him that the sa-be-ans fell unpond and took them away and have killed the servants and i'm the only one who escape alone to come tell you and we see job still trusting in GOD. And as he was still speaking still came more bad news somebody say no news is good NEWS but as he was still speaking another servant came to inform job the fire of GOD is fallen from heaven a has destroyed everything god has bless you with and i'm the only one who survived to come tell you but we see job still trusting in GOD. And while he was still speaking came more bad NEWS and then the worst NEWS of all thy sons and daughters were partying once more at the eldest house and behold there came a great wind and blew down all for sides of the house fell on the young men and they are dead and i;am the only one who escape to come and tell you and we see job still trusting in GOD. And the bible says job stood or arose to his feet shaved his head fell to ground and began to worship and as he began to worship and he announce naked i was born and naked i shall return to thy father and he continued to trust in god. So as we continue to study the book of god once Again the sons of god coming to fellowship with god and the bible says satin came also and we here god once again asking the same question and once again we here satin giving god the same answer. and once again we here god giving jobs personal profile so as we continue to take a look at the word of god we here god starting to chastising satin we here god telling satin even tho you moved me to destroy him with no cause he still held on to his faith he still held on to integrity when the chips were down he trusted in me so god says hes perfect and upright so as we continue to read god word we here satin coming up with another plan of attack so he decides to attacks his body so we here these word skin for skin is all that he has but pull forth thine hands now or remove your hands from his his bones and flesh and he will curse to thy face so as we continue to read we here the master words he is now in thine hands now but save his life so the bible says satin left the presence of lord and went on his plan of attack the word says he immediately moved on job infecting him sores from sole of his to top of head then the bible says he began to scrape or remove the attachment or disorder satin place on his life so bible say he took a tool and removed satin attachment and set down among the ashes so as we continue look into the word of god.i here god leading me to { MATT;11 VERSE2}and the word says tyre and sidon would have repented long ago in sack cloth and ashes but i tell you it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment so what god is trying to tell us thats a sign of worship so the bible says that job sat down among the ashes still trusting in god then in verse 9 we here jobs wife say are still trusting are holding on integrity are you still holding your head up curse god and die and then we here his reply in verse 10 you speaketh like a foolish women will we receive good at the hand of god and we receive evil but still trusted in god and there more to this story job had three friends three of homeboys that herd about his plite they came to see about him and bible says form distance thy knew him not and the bible says they began cry and in verser 13 the bible says they sat on ground for 7days and 7night none speaking a word because of his grief and when they did speak no one had a word of encouragement so i like to make my 1st. points is even thou job was going threw hard times he still trusted in god my 2nd.point is although he seen all that god had blessed him with being taken away he new it all belonged to god and my 3rd. point is he continued to worship no matter what bad news came his way so in closing i want ask you what bad news have you received on this day what is your bad news no matter what you do your children they just cant seem to get it together can you be like job when the chips are down will still trust in god your people on your job seem to keep mess and you feel like your on you last leg will be like job when the chip's are down still trust in god when you feel like you can't  go on will trust him well you trust when it look like all the lites our off in your life but here the good news after all was said and done god blessed  job with all he lost and more and last and most of be careful who you call you friends because his friends did't make any better for job when they came around your know some people hate on you in private some people smile in your but mean you no good trust in god when the chips are down amen  [ stand to your feet ]  REV.
