March 19: “Job’s Restoration” (Job 42)

Job’s story has a happy ending. God restored Job’s health and wealth. God blessed him with 10 more children. But Job’s story is much more than Hollywood’s feel-good story. There are two things we need to pay attention to. First, before Job’s restoration, Job had to forgive his friends. Forgiveness leads to restoration. Second, the author gives one interesting detail in verse 15 that shows how Job had changed. Suffering has made Job a more merciful and just person in a countercultural way.
