Was it easy for her to pull heavy and bulky wagon? No. Did she stop after a minute? No. Five minutes? No. Ten minutes? No. It was almost as if she knew this was a test of character and she wanted to get an A+

As adults, we face daily choices: take easy way out and just go along for ride, or do best we can do and be best we can be. I am sure every one of us chooses both options several times a day. Let's be conscious of those decisions today.

Then something happens. We get a new job or a promotion. We may move into a new neighborhood. Possibly it is some tragedy or illness that causes us to be reconnected to world on a full time basis. The hacker becomes aware of us and exploits our weaknesses. He finds a "back door" or "Trojan Horse." Then he sends his viruses to further infect and weaken our system. Soon he knows all about us and he is in complete control of our computer and our lives.

The answer is that we must stay connected to God, ultimate firewall. This is one firewall that Satan cannot penetrate. But this is not enough. We must also have Jesus Christ in our lives. Jesus allows us to scan for and detect viruses and demons that are continually trying to ruin our lives. Even then this is not enough. We must continually update our firewall and virus protection through prayer and church attendance.

Many people are confused because they think firewall and virus scan will completely protect them. No, bad things still happen to good computers and to good people. Lightning may strike and send a surge. You may spill Coke on keyboard. Your teenage son may be involved a horrible car accident. Your sister or your brother may steal from you. What it does mean is that no matter what happens your operating system, like Job's, will remain safe and untouchable.
