Job was an upwardly mobile man
A pretty wife, brilliant children, flocks of animals
Servants, a great house
He also had a good name in society
A most envied man
He was a known child of God
But things went from good to bad and from bad to worse
In an instant all he had left was just
Himself his wife and a sick body
As the negative tide rolled in; friends and family fled
His friends now had a questioning glare
They questioned his relationship with God
They questioned his sources of wealth
The respect he commanded quickly turned to despise
Job was cut down to nothing
His better half advised; curse God and die
The book of Job is a play back of conversations
Many fine words, all with great arguments
God was blamed, Job was condemned
Job blamed God and questioned His integrity
Here comes chapter 42;
The last chapter teaches a great lesson
God was not the cause of his woes
He had indeed set him up for a greater glory
His light affliction revealed a glorious new beginning
Many like Job blame God for their sorrow
No matter how bitter things are; if God is involved
Your later end will be better than the present
There is a silver lining just ahead
Do not sever your relationship with the one who’s got
your back
