Job Repents. Job 42

 

Job 42 – Job Repents

 

God always does that which is in the context of His character. He is always true to Himself. So, we cannot tell God to do something that He cannot do. God is not going to jump through any hoop just because you hold it up.

 

Job is not in any position to question God in anything that He does. He is to trust Him. He is in a new relationship. Job repents in dust and ashes. The step of real repentance is First, you must see yourself as vile. Secondly, you must abhor yourself. Then you must turn to the living God.

 

Job recognized the sovereignty of God. He realized the reason God has permitted him to suffer is to bring him to repentance.

 

Job also comes to a new relationship with his friends. Then he prays for them and offers a sacrifice for them. These friends staked him to a new beginning. It shows here that Job was a good businessman. God gave him twice as much as he had at the very beginning. All the animals were doubled.

 

After this Job lived 140 years. He lived to see his sons and his son’s sons, even four generations. When he died, he was old and full of days.
