Job... I Love His Word

I am so humbled by God and what He is doing in my life. It's such a blessing to have this group of women to read the Word Cover to Cover with and hear their insights along the way. This is the first time I have ever read the book of Job. I knew basically what it was about but never read it for myself.

Of the entire book of Job I especially loved the last chaper where Job replied to the LORD:
Job 42:2 "I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted."

And... I had always heard that Job lost everything in his life, but I never knew before today how it ended...

Job 42:10-12 After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD made him prosperous again and gave him twice as much as he had before. All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the LORD had brought upon him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.
The LORD blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the first...

PRAISE GOD!

I love the Word and I really don't know how anyone can live life without a relationship with God. I am going to pray for my family and friends who are lost. They can try it on their own, but eventually every knee will bow! We all need something to cling to and I am so honored to have been chosen by Him. He's all I need!

I'm praying for all of you!
Much Love in Him,
Angie xoxo

P.S. I am in North Carolina until tomorrow but I would love to have the perfect song. :)

Nancy's song is perfect for this post--Give Me Jesus! I heard that Adrian Rogers had that song at his funeral because that was his line, "Just give me Jesus." Safe travel, Angie, and have a good Bible study tomorrow. I'm joining you in praying for the lost tonight. Where in the world would we be without Jesus? Love, Annette

Isn't this a great book about trusting God. To me, it shows that no matter how tough things get, how much we lose, how much we hurt, God IS still in control. He WILL keep His word. He WILL do what He says He will. We can always trust Him to bring us through, set us on higher ground, and bless our socks off!

i still need to post mine but I read the coolest thing about how sometimes the enemy will use friends and etc to tempt us to sin by the crazy things they said to Job. I know how much adversity i have experienced with family and etc where i have sinned in my reactions to them because of the crazy advice and counsel.

I've read Job a few times in the last couple of years and have learned so much from it.
I agree, I don't know how anyone lives without Christ in their ♥!

What is the best job I've ever had?
