So Yahweh blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys. He had also seven sons and three daughters. Job 42:12 WEB
Job was a very wealthy man who went through a terrible trial, but when it was over and Job had prayed for his friends, all that he had lost was returned double. In chapter one of the book of Job, he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys. In chapter forty, he had exactly twice this amount. Though his first group of children were now with the Lord, he was blessed with seven more sons, and three more beautiful daughters, which doubled the number of his children as well.
You cannot judge a book by reading a single page in the middle of it, nor can you judge your life by a season in the middle of it. During one year of my life, my business burned to the ground during an insurance lapse, my Dad passed away, I went through a divorce, and I had to start my life over with just my clothes. Now the Lord has restored what I lost, with better, and I thank God for getting me through those dark times. If I had given up, then I would not be here writing this day.
The later part of your life can be better than the beginning. No matter what you are going through, God still has the same good plan for you that He had the moment that you were born. When you are restored, it will be better than before. God has seen every tear, and He knows the pain that you have been through. So be encouraged because this storm will pass, and the Son will shine once again on your life. The ending can be better than the beginning, so don't give up in the middle.
Prayer: Heavenly Father I thank You for taking care of me. Though I do not understand many things, I choose to trust You. I know that You will take care of me and I am so thankful. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
Note: "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (2 Chron 7:14). If you have a prayer need, we are here for you!

Praying that Father Yahweh will provide for you and your family, in Jesus name Amen.
Amen
Amen! Once again Father Yahweh has answered a prayer immediately through your message pastor Dion. I had another bout of sadness while making coffee and asked God to help me because of missing my wife again. He is remiinding me through this message that He will restore me in His timing and that I'm on the road to restoration even now. I've felt like giving up for a long time but couldn't anyway because of my sons and my mom depending on me. But the Lord has led me to the book of Job many times as an example and lesson for my life too. I lost my wife,our home,my car's engine went and finances. Had to go bankrupt but didn't want to and God still blessed me even though. God is faithful even when I was not and doubted. Praise Him!
Amen Richard, I too have gone through the same things, While things continue to improve, it sometimes feels like I will never fully recover , Jobs story tells the Love of God And That he can and will. And that is so encouraging!
God Bless you Richard
Praising the Lord with you, Richard ! Thank you for sharing, we are brothers and sisters in the Lord, and we are to share one another's burdens, please know that you are in my prayers !
Thank you for this message. I am living proof as well that when going through the storms of life, you just want to throw your hands up in the air and say "Uncle", I've had enough and then you scream and cry and feel such deep sadness and depression overwhelm you; but God is ALWAYS good and he NEVER leaves his children! Jesus shone the light on me on those days of deep sadness, days when I was willing to just give up; but he has strengthened me and shown me that LIFE is good and that the darkness does not last forever. Don't get me wrong, I still have those mini-storms that come along; however, I just keep telling myself to 'TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING'. Trusting God is the most important part of faith and without faith we have nothing. It took me a long time to realize this and I know that I would not be where I am if it were not for my trust and faith in the God. He has beenw with me the entire time and even though I didn't sense his presence, he was closer than ever. I still have doubts at times, but I always reach back to many a days when I was walking in the valley of the shadow of death, and Jesus was there with me when I lost my dad first and then my mom! So with that being said, I thank you Father in Heaven for ALWAYS being with me and keeping me on track and knowing that in the end, ALL will be good because you are AWESOME and nothing and no one can EVER change that! In Jesus name I pray, Amen!!
What a powerful testimony, Marisa!!! Proverbs 3:5+6 is one of my favorite verses and so is Phil.4:13 "I can do all things through Christ ...", I use them when I start out my day! It is best to surrender to the Lord and His plan for our lives early on before we even get started and trust Him for the rest of the day, and rest of our earthly lives! Love you, sister :)
Yes Lord, amen
Amen, God is awesome and He is still working in my life, He's not through yet!
Amen! Job's story is such an inspiration, It gives me such hope :)

Awesome devotional Pastor God bless you.
Often when situations seem impossible, finances are non-existent, and my next step is unknown, I think about being with Jesus in that mansion He’s building on a street of gold. No matter what happens in my life on this planet, my ending is going to be eternally better with Jesus! Thanks, Pastor Dion, for bringing this glimpse of hope to my mind this morning!
Amen, sister, amen <3!
Amen and Amen! Thank you, my Lord and Savior, I put my trust in Thee !!!
