I have learned of the story before and it was presented again at church yesterday and I was even more enlightened.
The story of Job is simple and inspiring. The devil studies human beings and has a good idea of what makes us decide to remain rightgeous or wayward. Satan believed that Job would waiver from being such a faithful servant to God if he would take away his worldy possessions. When that didn't work, Satan again challenged God stating that Job would curse God to his face if he threathen him(health and stregnth). Satan was wrong and Job was rewarded in the end with double of his original possessions and children.
What I get out of this story is to watch my motives with God and not to waver my faithfullness and love towards him based on what HE can do for me. But to love HIM because of who HE is no matter my circumstances.
