Temptation

Job and Satan put job in a kind of trial in which the question is if Job will remain faithful and loyal to god while keeping his fear and respect. Job is able to stand the different trials 10 times and then he finally gives in which in a way shows how humans will always have a weakness and once its reached its hard to keep going. But at the same time it also shows how humans can make themselves keep going for as long as they want. Here Job is able to keep his loyalty firm with god even though Satan tries to trick him into getting mad at god and insulting him but Job is always stable and has his mind clear. Still at the end, after being “tested” many times Job finally breaks down and expresses his feelings towards god. He tells how he feels mis treated and how unjust god has been with him; he complains but at the same time asks for forgiveness and for him not to be condemned. He says how good he has always been and even though God has always recognized this and has been aware of his unconditional faith, God still had it given for granted and never fully appreciated it. THis is why, as any human being, Job was stopped more by his emotions than what his physical characteristics were actually capable of doing.
Also in a way Job is one of the humans that will at some times keep his loyalty firm to god but will later on explote and express all frustrations and doubts that have aroused withing concerning God and the way he controls the world. We sometimes feel tricked and unjustly tried and therefore we have been ive a harsher punishment for our wrong doings, if it is a ounishment what we recieve. Either way, we wont always agree with the way God does things and maybe we are just supposed to learn to live with it withought questioning it. Or maybe we are meant to explore other posibilities and reclaim GOds unjustnesses.
