I recently was watching a report on the devastating wildfires in California. One fire burned down an entire town. A survivor said when interviewed, "We went bowling and when we came home everything was gone." Job not only had everything good this world has to offer, but he was also a good and well respected man among the people. Clothed with righteousness and justice, a man who helped the poor, fatherless and widows, but ...
Lesson: Job thought his days would be as numerous as the grains of sand, but his riches and good deeds were no guarantee. If you think they are then beware or you may end up sitting in ashes, covered by boils, scratching with clam shells, asking, "Why is this happening to me?"
Psalm 118:1 - "Give Thanks to the Lord for he is good; his love endures forever."
