Question:
What was the lesson God wanted to teach Job?

Answer:
Job prided himself in his knowledge, and in his righteous life. After using Satan to teach Job his frailty, God asked him, “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?” (Job 38:4).

Job finally saw how small he was in comparison to God, and he told Him, “I uttered that I understood not…I have heard of Thee…but now mine eye seeth Thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes” (Job 42:1-6). Job confessed that he had merely heard of God but now he saw Him in all His power and glory, and now he understood things he didn’t before.
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). Fear of ghosts (demons) does not come from God. Satan has already been defeated on the cross (Hebrews 2:14, 15). If we are saved, Satan can no longer take us to hell, though he is trying his best to make us miserable, but he flees when we are trusting and enjoying Christ.“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).
