After God finally showed up and brought correction to the error the comforters had interjected, He required them to prepare an offering and ask Job to pray for them.  He had maintained an integrity before the Lord as he tried to understand the trial he was enduring. At the conclusion of the trial, in the Lord’s timing, Job was rewarded with twice as much blessing as his former life.

Those who endure suffering in this life can rest assured that God sees all, and will appropriately reward them for their pain. He uses pain, but ultimately wants to bring healing and blessing. In Christ,we have HOPE.

PRAYER: Father, we will endure the trials and challenges of this life because we know that You will reward us, You will redeem us, and You will heal us. Blessed be Your Holy Name, Jesus.
