The Bearer Of Bad News!  Job 1:14-19 14  A nd there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them: 15  And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. 16   While he was yet speaking, there came also another , and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. 17  W hile he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said , The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. 18  While he was yet speaking, there came also another , and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: 19  An...

                                                                              Freely Give! give     1. to   present   voluntarily   and   without   expecting   compensation ; bestow:   John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life .

 Losing Everything Have you ever been on top of the world and just like that within seconds bad news hits. Yet it keeps getting worst. Job servants kept coming to him with losses in his life! The only time someone came to him was with more bad news. Imagine the prodigal son he got his inheritance from his father was on top living it up spending his money on  not so good living and then next thing you know his money ran low, then a famine came, and then everyone disappeared. Don't you always feel like your on the top until you lose everything then all of a sudden those who said they would love you and be there are no longer their. You quickly learn they were not their for you but for the things that you had. Job was different though Job was a good man God was allowing the enemy to test him yet it seemed like every time he turned around he would lose something else!
