This is the Work of God

God said to Satan: "Hast thou considered My servant Job?"  God did not issue such a challenge to the old serpent regarding Adam and Eve.  Thus we see that progress had been made in process of time in the outworking of God's eternal purpose in Christ.  Job's senses had been exercised to discern both good and evil to such an extent that he would not curse God in spite of the sudden loss of family, goods, and health.  Job responded precisely as God knew that he would to the calamities that came upon him.  This is the work of God!
