S - Skin for skin! Satan replied. "A man will give all he has for his own life. Job 2:4
O - I feel like Satan is showing his cards here. In both chapters his purpose was to make Job curse God. When I was at bible college, a man came to speak to us from a country where Christian persecution was very strong. He's had to face "Deny Christ or die" more than once. He didn't come to Canada to run away, or for safety, he came to witness to us. He said that the reason we don't see persecution as much here is because our lives don't look any different than those around us. Satan has us so distracted by the things of this world that he has rendered us ineffective for the gospel. We don't have to deny Christ with our mouth, we do it with the way we live our lives.
A - Does the way I spend my time, live my life, speak to others, etc., show that my life is centered around Christ? Are there areas of my life that I am choosing to be a friend of this world?
K - Lord show me the areas of my life that I am not letting you rule.
