What do you do when you are in a Job-like season, and it seems your loved ones are also?

I am not sure, except to study this book of wisdom more deeply and with fresh eyes.

This is only touching the hem of what God may want to teach.

I first speak to myself, but hope this is helpful in some way.

Listen…

…to God’s still, immovable, small but perfectly powerful voice, trust, get counsel where needed.

“Then Job replied to the LORD:

‘I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you.

‘You asked, “Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?” It is I—and I was talking about things I knew nothing about, things far too wonderful for me.

‘You said, “Listen and I will speak! I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.”

‘I had only heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes.

‘I take back everything I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.'”

-Job 42:1-6/NLT

Job was blessed with a double portion of everything in the second half of his life. His new daughters were the fairest in the land. He also included them in his will along with his sons.

Humanity is God’s most prized Creation. God’s enemy is here to destroy God’s success and take over.

But GOD IS, GOD HAS WON, GOD WINS and GOD WILL WIN!

Job’s win is God’s win. Job’s friend’s obedience is God’s win, and in the end even Job’s friends are blessed due to God’s mercy and Job’s prayer.

Amazing!
