Today's Reading: Job 42:10-11
This is the same reading from yesterday, but I wanted to focus on another aspect of these verses today.
Although in this case God restored Job's riches and even gave him twice as much as he had before, this is NOT a promise that God is always going to do that in our lives - at least when it comes to material riches. However, as we're going to see in a couple weeks when we get to Ephesians, in Jesus we have every spiritual blessing. That blessing is eternal, not just temporary like Job's. Job's real blessing was his deeper relationship with God, not all the stuff he got.
