A series of misfortunes having befallen him, Job lost all that was dear to him, but he did not despair.
In his misery, he kept his hope in God and remained attached to him.
And as He never abandons those who hope in Him, * »The LORD blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part… »*(Job 42:12)
During his last years Job received more blessings from the Lord than he had received during the earlier years: the Lord gave him twice as much as he had before, and after this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. And so Job died, an old man and full of years.
*We have no reason to despair.*
No matter how long we may stay in difficult situations, if we hold fast to God like Job did, we have a right to hope that God will surely come to rescue and bless us even in the last days of our life, as He did to Job.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, give us hope and confidence in your love and justice.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
