Today's verse is Job 5:17
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth:
Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
First and foremost, Recognize that God is Just! As this book starts, God himself testifies of Job, and how God is pleased with him. Yet, at the end of the book, we learn that even Job is not without dross, which must be purified away. So, as James has counseled, when troubles come, though God himself commends Job, even by James, let us not be as Job as he complained, but Rejoice, for our God, the righteous Judge, is letting us know that there is something in us that must be purified. Therefore, first examine yourself, are you in Christ, is Christ in you, once you are sure of that, be patient in all longsuffering, and be open to God’s correction, and in due course according to his mercy, he will reveal to you that which must be cleansed and will enable you to Repent from it. And forget not that Job was restored double of all that he had lost. Amen.
To God be the Glory
Scott
