In the context of Job, it highlights the paradox of God's attention, which can be both comforting and overwhelming. The idea of God attending to humans every morning suggests a daily renewal of His mercies, as seen in <a href="/lamentations/3-22.htm">Lamentations 3:22-23</a>, where God's mercies are described as new every morning. This daily attention can also be seen as a form of divine oversight, reminiscent of God's provision of manna to the Israelites each morning during their wilderness journey (<a href="/exodus/16-21.htm">Exodus 16:21</a>). The morning is often symbolic of new beginnings and hope, yet for Job, it is a reminder of his ongoing suffering and scrutiny.<p><b>and test him every moment?</b><br>The concept of testing is a recurring theme in the Bible, often associated with refining and proving one's faith, as seen in passages like <a href="/james/1-2.htm">James 1:2-4</a> and <a href="/1_peter/1-6.htm">1 Peter 1:6-7</a>. In Job's case, the testing is intense and relentless, occurring every moment, which underscores the severity of his trials. This continuous testing can be compared to the refining process of precious metals, where constant heat is applied to remove impurities. Job's experience foreshadows the ultimate testing and suffering of Jesus Christ, who was also tested and tempted in every way (<a href="/hebrews/4-15.htm">Hebrews 4:15</a>) yet remained without sin. The testing of Job serves as a type of Christ's own trials, pointing to the greater purpose and eventual vindication that comes through enduring faith.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man described as blameless and upright, who feared God and shunned evil.
