Gm. Topic-A Definite Increase TEXT: JOB 8:1-10 The beginning of an event does not always spell or predict its eventual outcome. That a day begins gloomily can never indicate that the situation will be so all day long. For the believer, a morning of challenges does not always portend endless difficulties. “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning”. Although Job’s friend, Bildad the Shuhite accused him wrongly by presuming that the death of Job’s children was a result of their transgressions, he, however, gave a positive prophecy that was fulfilled in Job’s latter life. Job had been remonstrating over his calamities. He, as a man, had been wondering why the deluge of trials was coming his way. But he knew the source could not be from the Almighty. He was convinced that with the cordial relationship he was enjoying with God, the devil must be the harbinger of his ordeals. Like Job, you may be going through hard times. And you may be derided by friends and relations over your adversity in the service of the Almighty. Yet, despondency is not the answer. The best approach is to give thanks to the Lord who counted you worthy to suffer for His name. Job was not in doubt of his relationship with the Creator. For this reason, he never panicked; he kept himself from uttering guile against the Lord Almighty. How often do we accuse the Lord for problems that are influenced by the enemy, the devil? We need to understand that there is nothing committed to God that ever get lost. Job handed everything to God, his material wealth and his family. He never held anything back. Indeed, true to Bildad’s prophecy, Job’s latter end greatly increased. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: He makes all things beautiful in His time. @daily manna
