That’s right, if you haven’t already become a “Job” at least once in your lifetime, then you’re probably about to.

When you understand the story of Job, you can truly apprehend the story of humankind in the context of 2012 on Planet Earth. All you have to do is substitute your name for Job in the actual bible story. That’s right, if you haven’t already become a “Job” at least once in your lifetime, then you’re probably about to. The circumstances shaping up around the globe have never been so conducive for this to take place 7 billion times. Not to worry, however, especially when you can successfully answer the following question.

Who was the ultimate power making the decisions to harass and harry Job with each adversity and affliction, with every trial and tribulation? It certainly wasn’t Satan, was it? He was simply used as an instrument to carry out a much higher will. Even though the original idea to make Job’s life miserable appeared to spring from the mind of Satan, it was actually the result of the sprouting of Job’s karma. As well as the will of the Almighty.

What’s the point? Fast forward to 2012 and all of us are continually pointing the finger at the forces outside of us for causing much of our pain and suffering. Just like Satan, those forces who appear to be running the show – all the way up to the very peak of worldly power – are simply doing the bidding of the very Highest Power. Not only is their very existence of divine origin and maintained through divine grace, but the outworking of their earthly power plays can only occur through the power of the Almighty.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah — we know, this just makes no sense … that God, Himself, would ordain and will into existence such a chaotic and crazy world scenario as we see it unfold on the TV screen!
