Job 1:14-15 | MHM | STEP | v. 14-15 : Job first learned that the Sabeans attacked and stole his 500 oxen and 500 donkeys while killing his servants who were tending them. Only one servant escaped to bring him the news (Job 1:14-15 ). This loss was not due to carelessness, as the animals were being properly tended, but was caused by the wickedness of the Sabeans. Satan used these robbers as instruments of destruction. Even when we are diligent and careful, we must remember that only God’s protection can keep us safe (Psalm 127:1 ).
