Job.

Ive been introduced in the past few days to a guy in the Bible named Jobe (spelt Job).

It turns out that this guy was a pretty rich chap with a good life and a family and was respected by many people.

Now Job went through a time in his life where he was striped of everything he had his wife died followed by his children and he had all of his cattle taken from him and all the people turned against him.

Now god had a plan for Job and sat back and watch the Devil strip Job of everything he had. So Why did this happen? and why did God Sit back and watch Job's life get in to such a bad situation?

God hadn't left Job, but sat in the background to watch over him and ensure he had the strength to cope with all the hard stuff.

You see God had a plan up his sleeve and wanted to prove that however much the Devil and people attacked Job, and struck him down God would always be there with his ''Plans for Good''.

What happened next to Job was he became liked by others and became even richer than he was before. He found a new wife and had a new family.

God hadn't left Job but was there ready to defeat the evil. And god new that Job would be OK and this was a way of god showing his power and proof that he will always win.

Its easy to blame god for all the bad stuff that happens in our lives but we all make choices that can sometimes change Gods Plan, but though they might change they will always be plans for good and maybe even better.

I'm not sure this is a 100% accurate description of Job but what it does is prove that God will always want the best for us and when we trust him we know that's the way forward.
