[Discoveries] 06-23-07 Comfort is coming

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*All [Job's] brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before 
came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over 
all the trouble the LORD had brought upon him, and each one gave him a 
piece of silver and a gold ring. -- Job 42:11*/

In Job 42:11, God has finished speaking to Job, Job's friends were 
rebuked by God and prayed for by Job, and we assume that Job's health 
has been restored. Weeks, maybe months have passed since the Lord had 
given Satan permission to ruin Job without reason.

Finally Job's friends and family show up.

Here's my question: Where were they before? Why did they take so long to 
arrive on the scene?

And here's the answer: God didn't want them there any earlier. If they 
had arrived any earlier, they would have muddied the waters, and messed 
up God's plan.

God is not asleep, even if everyone else is. Your needs have not escaped 
his attention. Your suffering has not been forgotten. Comfort and relief 
are coming. They will arrive exactly on time.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
