• Begin with asking God for guidance. Remember He is the author.
• Are there one or more main characters, other than the Trinity, in the passage?
• Re-read the passage and ask God to lead you to the one character this day He wants to reveal Himself through.
• Write the character's name down.
• List the characters personality traits, or characteristics.
• Can you relate to any of the these personality traits or characteristics?
• How does God relate to that person in this passage?
• How does God relate to you?
• Bring yourself into His presence. Do you need to confess? Do you need to thank? Remember His love is everlasting. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
• Praise God for revelation and guidance.

1. One day the members of the heavenly court came again to present themselves before the LORD, and the Accuser, Satan, came with them.
2. Where have you come from?" the LORD asked Satan.

Satan answered the LORD. "I have been patrolling the earth, watching everything that's going on.

3. Then the LORD asked Satan, "Have you noticed my servant Job? He is the finest man in all the earth. He is blameless ⏤ a man of complete integrity. He fears God and stays away from evil. And he has maintained his integrity, even though you urged me to harm him without cause."

4. Satan replied to the LORD. "Skin for skin! A  man will give up everything he has to save his life.
5. But reach out and take away his health, and he will surely curse you to your face!"

6. "All right, do with him as you please," the LORD said to Satan. "But spare his life."
7. So Satan left the LORD'S presence, and he struck Job with terrible boils from head to foot.

8. Job scraped his skin with a piece of broken pottery as he sat among the ashes.
9. His wife said to him, "Are you still trying to maintain your integrity? Curse God and die."

10. But Job replied, "You talk like a foolish woman. Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?" So in all this, Job said nothing wrong.

11. When three of Job's friends heard of the tragedy he had suffered, they got together and traveled from their homes to comfort and console him. Their names were Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite.
12. When they saw Job from a distance, they scarcely recognized him. Wailing loudly, they tore their robes and threw dust into the air over their heads to show their grief.
13. Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and nights. No one said a word to Job, for they saw that his suffering was too great for words.
Job 1:1-13 NLT
