Job 1:9

Job 1:9 - Homiletics

Doth Job fear God for nought?

I. YES ! God ' s servants are not hypocrites .

1 . Those who serve God from mercenary motives do not truly serve him at all ( Isaiah 1:13 ).

2 . Those who serve God sincerely adhere to him when all creature-comforts are withdrawn ( Habakkuk 3:17 ).

II. No I God's servants do not go unrewarded. Like Job, they are honoured with:

1. Divine attention ( Psalms 33:18 ).

2 . Divine approbation ( Psalms 147:11 ).

3. Divine provision ( Psalms 34:9 ; Psalms 111:5 ).

4 . Divine protection ( Psalms 85:9 ); cf. the Old Testament saints in the times of Malachi 3:16 .
