God can restore your fortunes

Job 42:10 NLT “When Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!”

In a short period of time, and due to circumstances beyond their control (like the COVID-19 Pandemic), life has changed dramatically for a lot of people. So much so, that they do not have enough resources to sustain even their basics. We have a lesson to learn from the story of Job in the Bible, about the God who can restore lost fortunes. In one day, Job lost his 10 children (seven sons and three daughters) along with all his possessions and wealth. Shortly after, he was afflicted with a horrible skin disease. (Job chapters 1 and 2). The first forty-one chapters in the book of Job describe all that he had lost: his health, his wealth, and his family. Then, in Job chapter 42, we read, “The Lord restored his fortunes…The Lord blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning” (vv. 10, 12 NLT). What a remarkable comeback story. And what God did for Job, He can do for you when you put your life in His hands. He will restore your health, your business, your job, your finances, your marriage, and your relationships. But you must walk in the TRUTH: God ‘s word.
