Transformation from the story of Job.
Job's difficult story does have a good ending. But we must not misinterpret his experience and conclude that every trial will end with all problems solved. Our lives do not always happen that way.
The conclusion to Job's story assures us that no matter what happens to us. Our Lord and Our Friend always writes the last chapter, so we really do not have to be afraid. We can trust God to do what is right, no matter how painful our situation might be.
In Job's story, Job's greatest blessing, however, was not regaining his health and wealth or the rebuilding of his family and circle of friends, It was in knowing God better and understanding his working in a deeper way.
The story tells us about Job as a man of great endurance. We can see how the Lord was kind to him in the end, for Our Lord and Our Friend is full of tenderness and mercy.
From the Book of Hebrews 12 Verse 11: It reminds us, "No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening, it is quite painful! But afterwards there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are following Him.
No matter what God permits to come into our lives, he always has His final say. He writes the last chapter, and that makes our stories worth it all.
So trust and live in the promise "He will never leave or forsake us".
God Bless.
