Job 42:16

Lived Job. The man who was so sure that the grave was just ahead of him continued to live for nearly another century and a half! The life that had seemed blasted, bloomed again in greater brilliance than before. The blessings that had seemed to be gone forever, returned, more wonderful than ever. Property, family, friends, reputation, were his again. But even greater than these blessings was the memory of an experience in which he had come face to face with God, and had learned lessons more valuable than material possessions. These lessons, God in His providence saw fit to share with all humanity, and so the book of Job was preserved as one of the great spiritual heritages from a far-distant past. It is our privilege today to learn from the experience of Job lessons of trust and confidence in God.
