Job 1:1; There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and he was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and eschewed evil.
Job has seven sons and three daughters, and Job was very strong in the LORD, but his children did sin.
Job 1:4; And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day, and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
Job 1:5, And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all, for Job said, it may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts, and thus did Job continually.
So just because someone loves the LORD, doesn’t mean their children do, because his sons and daughters feasted, and may have sinned in their heart.
In this same chapter, satan comes before God and 1:6; says Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and satan came also among them. V.7; And the LORD said unto satan, whence comes thou?, and satan answered the LORD, and said, from going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
He’s wanting to say to God that he sees Job, and he’s wanting to get him away from God, and God knows that Job will still be faithful and right, so he allows satan to hurt everything but do not kill Job.
Job lost everything, his friends turned against him, his children died, his wife told him to curse God. The devil wanted to hurt Job, to see if he would turn against God.
In chapter 10; it seems like Job is asking, why is this happening. But after all this happens, God comes in a whirlwind, and talks to Job, (ch. 38), and Job remained faithful to God, so God gave him even more than what he had in the beginning. When the devil attacks you, remain faithful to God.
