Okay back to the blog
Job finally sees the pay off for his faithfulness. He is finally past the trails and the Lord blesses Him twice what he once had. (vs 10)
So this begs the question, "If I'm faithful will God bless me like He did Job?"
In some ways it seems that way in this chapter, but you must remember that Job had no idea the Lord would bless him like that. Job was faithful because he loved God, and knew he was better off praising the Lord rather than cursing Him. In this book Job says, "You give and take away, BUT my heart will choose to say, blessed be Your name!" Job knew that God was in control of everything and no matter the outcome Job would praise God.
God chose to bless Job, and He has chosen not to bless others that have been just as faithful. If the ultimate reward anytime some one was faithful was twice what they had, then every CEO in the world would jump on board the Christian cash cab! Where's the faith in that?
So let us love God as Job did even if He doesn't give us the winning lottery ticket after we have proven to be faithful!

If you took quiz earlier I stand corrected. Andy was the sheriff of Mayberry not the mayor, so I changed that question.

9 out of 10. My mind went to Maxwell Smart and not Austin Powers. Oh well. 90% is better than I did in most of my college career:)
ReplyDeleteOuch! 60%
ReplyDeleteLooks like I'd be held back a year on pop culture 101. Still, I like my odds against another quiz like this than to take on a behemoth or leviathan (Job 40-41). Not a chance.
We got 8 out of 10. Not too bad. Gotta love the good guys! Great quiz :)
