Introduction
The Book of Job is the story of a good and righteous man who suffers total disaster—he loses all his children and property and is afflicted with a repulsive disease. Then, in a series of poetic dialogues, Job’s friends and Job himself react to these calamities. Job cannot understand how God could allow such suffering to happen to him; and while he challenges God, he does not lose his faith. Today’s reading is the conclusion to the book and begins with Job responding to God by acknowledging that God is wise and great, and he repents of the angry things he has said. Because Job’s three friends failed to understand the meaning of Job’s suffering, God reprimands them and they are ordered to offer a sacrifice to avoid being punished. Job is blessed by God and his fortunes are restored with even greater prosperity than before.
Scripture Reading
Job 42:1-17
Today’s Key Verse: Job 42:2
[Job answered:] I know, LORD, that you are all-powerful; that you can do everything you want.
Reflect
The concluding chapter begins with Job’s final response to God. What does he say? What has he learned? What are your thoughts concerning the ending of Job’s story?
Pray
All-Powerful God, your thoughts are not like mine, and your ways are different from mine. You are a God of justice and mercy. Teach me your ways, O God, and help me to live in accord with your will. Amen.
