Restoration!

December 12, 2022 Monday Message:

Job 42:12-13 NLT: “The Lord blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning. For now he had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys. He also gave Job seven more sons and three more daughters.”

Job kept his faith in the Lord through both good times and bad times. Job never faltered in his faith, regardless of his dire circumstances. Circumstances are what currently happens to you, but have no eternal consequences. But faith in our Lord carries forever ramifications. Where you stand with Jesus determines your eternal destination!

Job and God had a conversation, concluding that God is Almighty and Job was just a man, a created being. Job acknowledged that only God could rescue him from his problematic predicament, so he doubled-down on loving the Lord. God not only rescued him, but restored him beyond his wildest dreams!

Job’s wife thought he should just give up. “Curse God and then die.” Job did not do that! He stuck with the Almighty God of rescue and restoration. There is no one like our God!
