The Lord Gave
Reading in Job 42.10, this morning. The writer of Job (Job himself?) makes a peculiar point. He says that the Lord gave Job twice as much AS HE GAVE HIM BEFORE. We shouldn't miss that little remark because it goes to the heart of who God is and who we are. We would like to think that what we have is the result of our own efforts and talents, which is true so far as it goes. Ultimate responsibility rests with God. This is the whole message of Job. God gave Job blessings; God took away those blessings; God gave them back double. Humbling, but true.
