Restored



Job  40: 6 - 42

God reminds all of us again exactly who HE is...beautiful words that heal when you hear them. Imagine Job seating listening to God himself tell you "Are you as strong as God?"  Yet hearing these words convict us, but give us such hope!

God indeed heals us even when we are not what we should be!

In Job 42:10 these words just were so beautiful thinking about all that Job went through the terrible losses, the terrible disease, the isolation, and the know it all friends with all the answers and then the healing flowed with God's Words.  It's beautiful!

In Job 42:10 it just made me want to dance when we are told these words...
When Job prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes.  In fact, the LORD gave him twice as much as before!  It's not the stuff.  It's God!  He was restored with God and then God blessed him with more...So much more!

Only God!  Allow Him to heal your heart!

Sweet blessings,

As hard as it gets reading the book of Job the beautiful conclusion of God's words and His blessing on Job are well worth it!

Even Job's apologetic response to God is touching as Job said, "...I was talking about things I knew nothing about, things far too wonderful for me."

Yea! We made a month of daily Bible reading.
