Step Four A Closer look Into NKJV

Job 2:5-10 “But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will surely curse You to Your face!'

And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”

So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and struck Job with painful boils
From the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.

And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself while he sat in the midst of the ashes.

Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!”

But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

Micah 7:8-10 Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness, The LORD will be a light to me.

I will bear the indignation of the LORD, Because I have sinned against Him, Until He pleads my case And executes justice for me. He will bring me forth to the light; I will see His righteousness.

Then she who is my enemy will see, And shame will cover her who said to me, "Where is the LORD your God?" My eyes will see her; Now she will be trampled down Like mud in the streets.

Psalm 86:1-7 BOW down Your ear, O LORD, hear me; For I am poor and needy.

Preserve my life, for I am holy; You are my God; Save Your servant who trusts in You!

Be merciful to me, O Lord, For I cry to you all day long.

Rejoice the soul of Your servant, For to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.

Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, For You will answer me.

Psalm 3:1-8 LORD, How they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.

Many are they who say of me, "There is no help for him in God."

But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.

I cried to the Lord with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill. Selah

I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me all around.

Arise, O Lord; Save Me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly,

Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah
