Even the Just Needs to Give a Thought to Repentance
Job made up his mind to submit himself to the Lord. The Lord is
great and beyond human understanding. Job is a just man but suffered a lot. God
allowed the devil to test him. We learn from
that though Job was tested by the devil to suffer; on his part, he feels the
need to despise himself and repent in dust and ashes. The attitude of Job is
great, and we all feel we are just but let us have the humility to repent and
transform ourselves. Everyone needs purification of body, mind and spirit.
Job was purified and made his body, mind and spirit just like that
of the innocent child. He was given back all the lost property, servants and
children. He had a happy and good household after all this suffering. The just
will regain all their name and fame for the glory of God. Job lived a hundred
and forty years full of life. God’s promises are lasting and transcending the
human calculation.
Do we Know every obstacle is a
step closer to God?
