Song # 1924.1 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. The Book of Job tells the story of a good man who suffers total disaster. In the end, God appears to Job and gives him even greater prosperity than he had before.
The Lord made Job prosperous and gave him twice as much as he had before (Job 42:10). All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought upon him, and each one gave Job a piece of silver and a gold ring (Job 42:11). The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the first. Job had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys (Job 42:12). And he also had seven sons and three daughters (Job 42:13). The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch (Job 42:14). Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers (Job 42:15). After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years. He saw his children and their children to the fourth generation (Job 42:16). And so he died, old and full of years (Job 42:17).
Thought for today: whatever may happen in your life, continue to trust in God.
Thought for the future: there’s only one way to heaven, but that’s all we need. Trust in Jesus today. Where will you spend your eternity?
