Reading – Job 41-42

Highlight Verse:

“When Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!”
‭‭Job‬ ‭42‬:‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Did you notice that?

It was when Job prayed for his friends that the Lord restored his fortunes.

Would he have done it if Job hadn’t prayed for his friends?

That’s an impossible question as it was in Job’s very nature to care about others so it was unthinkable that he wouldn’t have prayed for them.

The more relevant question to us today is,

would you or I have prayed for those same people if we were in Job’s position?

Jesus told us to pray for our enemies. How much more should we pray for our friends after they repent from acting like enemies?

We are commanded to not just forgive but lift up and support those who need it regardless of how they have treated us.

What are your thoughts on this?
Do you think God will bless you according to how you treat others?
