A Lesson from the Book of Job Despite all his trials, Job learned that he had been blessed with a wonderful life. He had family to love and people that he had helped both physically and spiritually. Our lives can be equally wonderful.
The Family You Have and Love Your physical family Job realized what a blessing his family had been (Job 29:2-6) He enjoyed this blessing again later in life (Job 42:13-17; Psalm 127:3-5) Your spiritual family (Luke 18:29-30)
The People You Have Helped Job had helped many (Job 29:12-17) Those that have helped will be helped (Galatians 6:9-10) Dorcas (Acts 9:36-40) Phoebe (Romans 16:1-2) The worthy widow (1 Timothy 5:3-10)
The People You Have Helped Save Job was interested in seeing that those whom he loved receive forgiveness (Job 1:5) Job gave valued counsel to others (Job 29:21) The saving difference we can make in another’s life can result in a wonderful eternal life! (James 5:19-20; 1 Thess. 2:19-20)
