Following God is like watching a football match or a movie, we must patiently follow him through. If you have not seeing the end, you must not conclude. If you read only Job 1-41, you will dismiss God as an unkind, wicked tyrant who had no consideration for his subjects feelings and emotions. Job lost seven sons, three daughters, 7000 sheep, 3000 camels, 500 teams of oxen, and 500 female donkeys with many servants.
Job was described as a blameless, man of complete integrity, who feared God, and stayed away from evil. He would always purify his children, and offered sacrifices for every one of them, all so that the Devil would have no foothold. A discussion between God and Satan threw him of balance, Job lost all for no faults of his!
His health was later taken, followed by torrent of blames by his wife
and friends. Whatever wrong things Job said could just be what any of us
would say in the face of unparalleled challenges, unprecedented
punishment, and excruciating pains.
Finally, at the end of it all, Job lost nothing! God carefully repaid Job. He now had 14,000 sheep, 6000 camels, 1000 teams of oxen, 1000 female donkeys ( all times two of what he lost). God also gave him seven sons, and three daughters ( exact numbers and sexes of children he lost), in addition, his daughters were the most pleasant around.
God also gave Job times two of every second he lost, he now lived 140 years extra, seeing his descendants to the fourth generations. He lived to become an old man, full of good life. So, God allowed the Devil in the beginning because he had a better plan!
Whatever you have gone through in the past, how darkness seems to cover his face at your hour of despair. How the heathen asked in derision,"where is your God". Some of us even think,we've wasted too much time, and life has not been fair to us at all, several nights of tears, when we wondered why the test, while we are trying to do our best. I have a message for you. He knows what you don't, He has the best plans, keep following. Surely I say unto you, you are loosing nothing. He has the joker that we make you both a wonder and a testimony. Congratulations!
