Let’s dive right into this one.
Go to the book of Job and look at chapters one and two. The beginning of chapter one immediately begins speaking of Job and listing the favor and blessings of God upon his life. As my husband and I began studying the book of Job the other night very quickly The Lord brought a series of questions to my mind.
The first of which is, if someone were to list my husbands blessings, could I even be included?
This pricked my heart as I began self examining.
You’ll notice, it lists his home, his livestock, even the children that were born unto him. Yet, it never lists his wife. It says nothing of her, not even that he had one.
Continuing on in my reading The Lord brought another series of convicting questions that triggered yet another round of self examination. If the Devil wanted to attack my home, would he even consider me a threat? Furthermore, would he consider afflicting me to attack my husband? Am I useful enough to my home in spiritual warfare that he would know he had to step over a praying wife and mother to harm my family?
Satan petitioned The Lord for the hedge to be dropped, once granted Satan began attacking every angle of Job’s life. He took his wealth, his livestock, his home, and finally takes the lives of his children. Yet still, never did Satan even attempt to destroy Job’s wife, not even to get to him. Once again, when Satan petitions for Job’s health, he never even considers his wife.
Could it be that Satan knew she was already on his side? Did Satan see her as so weak spiritually that she would even aid in his attempt to destroy Job?
I’ll end by repeating to you the same questions The Lord asked me:
If someone decided to write down all of your husbands blessings, could you be listed?
If Satan wanted to attack your home, would you even be considered a threat to him?
Are you ready for spiritual warefare?
