Job 28-31

Because of his age and his suffering, Job did nothing but complain to his friends and God. He lamented that he had lost the health of his youth. He felt he incurred unwarranted tragedy, undeserved because of what a good, moral person he had been. He gave voice to his grievance.

We are encouraged to consider Job’s end rather than his beginning and middle life. God repaid to him for all the suffering he experienced. Nevertheless, we should live our lives without the complaining because we read in God’s Word about our eternal reward. Even if our personal life never gets rewarded for our hardship, we have an eternal reward awaiting us. God will not be our debtor.

Where would you rather have your paycheck … here in this life or in our heavenly life? (Actually, we will probably get rewarded in both!)
