StormProof

DAY 16 OF 21

Once upon a time, in the land of Uz, there was a righteous and blameless man whose name was Job. Satan decided to target this man, and God gave him permission to do so. In a single day, Job lost everything he had worked his entire life to gain. Disaster after disaster struck this innocent man with unmatched ferocity.

What Satan had failed to take into consideration was that while this storm might have been the worst experience of Job’s life, it would usher in his finest hour! After Job’s foolish friends attacked him verbally, accusing him of having sinned against God and being the cause of his own troubles, Job reminded them that God was not finished with him yet. The end of Job’s story would not entail his sitting in human pain and rubbing ashes all over his body. The stories of God’s people never end in ashes but always with pure gold.

In the midst of Job’s human pain and his friends’ pontifications—the Lord speaks! The God of the universe has been watching Job’s life and listening to his conversations. At the end of this tragic storm experience, the Lord wants Job to be reminded of His authority and complete control over the world He has made. God wants Job to be in awe of the fact that he has been invited to participate in such a wonderful world with His Creator!

And then a miracle occurred! All that had been ravaged was returned to Job “twofold”: Job experienced the bestowal of a double blessing because he obeyed the Lord and because he prayed for those who had carelessly and needlessly hurt him.

If you can practice the “Job Principle” and worship even while you are grieving, the Lord will bless your life beyond measure as well. If you will pray for those who have hurt you, if you will bless even those who have persecuted you, the Lord will take care of you! He will not only restore your reputation and your loss, but He will also increase all that you have! God, our Creator and Father, takes great joy in giving to His children a double blessing of favor, honor, and heritage.
