Thoughts from Book of Job

As God provides me with his grace, i would like to compose thoughts I got while meditating on the Book of Job.

Job 29:4
"Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God's intimate friendship blessed my house,"

As we can see in this chapter, Job was recalling his past days when everything was well with him. He remembers God's light and watch over him, His children playing around him, abundance of food and wealth he had, honor he received at the city gate, and etc.
In the midst of all this, He just puts forth the reason of all this blessing on his house. That was the intimate friendship Job had with God.
Off course, this is the very friendship that gave God such a confidence in Job's integrity and faithfulness towards God that made God challenge Satan about Job. Friendship with God not only for all blessings but also to bring glory to His name in front of Satan and to put Him to shame.
"And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross." Col 2:15
"But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him." 2 Cor 2:14
