Satan mekem pipol for tingse olketa bae barava hapi sapos olketa rulim olketa seleva. (Gen. 3:1-5) Hem olsem Satan sei tu, olketa man bae no faithful long God, and sapos olketa kasem hard taem, bae olketa no laek stap anda long rul bilong Jehovah. (Job 2:4, 5) So Jehovah letem olketa nogud samting for gohed for longfala taem mekem pipol luksavve olketa needim God for rulim olketa.

Sapos Jehovah no stretem datwan, olketa man or olketa angel bae no garem peace and wan mind.

(John 3:16; 1 John 4:9) Sapos Jehovah no duim wanem hem promisim for iumi long future, samting wea Satan and olketa wea sapotim Satan talem abaotem rul bilong Jehovah bae hem tru. Satan talem Jehovah hem man for laea and hem holem bak olketa gudfala samting from olketa man and hem wanfala nogud ruler.

Wanfala samting wea hem bae duim taem hem mekhae long rul bilong hem, hem nao for sevem olketa wea obeyim hem. (Readim Isaiah 55:10, 11.) Jehovah hem rul long wei wea showimaot love.

11, 12. Wanem nao Jehovah helpem Job for luksavve long hem, and wanem nao Job duim?

Job sei: “Mi barava sorre long samting wea mi talem, and mi sidaon long asis and long dust from mi repent.” (Job 42:1-6) Wanfala young man, wea nem bilong hem Elihu, hem tu helpem Job for stretem tingting bilong hem.

Bible sei: “Olketa blessing wea Job kasem from Jehovah bihaen, hem winim firstaem.” Gogo, Job “hem garem moa sevenfala boy and thrifala gele.” (Job 42:12-14) Job hem lovem olketa pikinini hia, bat hem sorre tumas for lusim olketa nara pikinini bilong hem wea dae. And maet hem still tingim olketa nogud samting wea kasem hem and famili bilong hem. Nomata sapos bihaen Job hem savve why hem kasem olketa hard taem hia, maet hem ting olsem, why nao God letem hem for safa tumas. Sapos Job garem kaen tingting olsem, hem savve tingim samting wea Jehovah talem hem. And datwan comfortim hem and helpem hem for garem stretfala tingting.—Ps. 94:19, footnote.

Story bilong Job showimaot “Jehovah hem lovem man and hem showimaot mercy long hem.” (Jas. 5:11) Sapos iumi sapotim rul bilong Jehovah, hem bae blessim iumi. Taem iumi savve long diswan, hem helpem iumi for no “givap and . . . gohed for patient and hapi.”—Col. 1:11.
