IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL
TEXT: The Lord gave me what I had, and the Lord has taken it away. Praise the Name of the Lord!” (Job 1:21).
When we meet Job in the Bible, he has it all: wealth, family, friends, and trust in God. But in the blink of an eye, his riches were plundered and his family wiped out. Terrible physical suffering soon followed. But his trust in God remained; he declared, “The Lord gave me what I had, and the Lord has taken it away. Praise the Name of the Lord!” (Job 1:21).
Nearly forty chapters later, after hearing from God directly, Job humbled himself before God, and prayed for his friends. Only then, “the Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!” (Job 42:10).
Again we see God responding and blessing in a great way, but only in His time.
LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME GIVE US GRACE TO MAINTAIN OUR SPIRITUAL INTEGRITY IN THE FACE OF PROBLEM AND TURN OUR SORROW TO SUCCESS
GOOD MORNING BRETHREN
