If we read Job 42:9,
we can understand that the God who created heaven and earth looked at the face
of Job. Why? Job's friends have not spoken what is right of God. So God said to
them to go to Job with certain things to offer as burnt offering and God said
that Job will pray for them.
Look at the confidence of God. He never said that He will
also inform Job to pray for them. These were the same friends who spoke against
Job and had hurt him. But God believed and trusted Job that he will do what He
asks him to do.
1. Today the Almighty God who sees your heart, can He
testify about you with boldness saying that you will pray for those who had
hurt you?
His friends went and did as God commanded them. (V9)
2. His friends committed mistake against God. But then when
God ask them to repent, they obeyed. Are you obeying God with immediate
repentance?
Then God looked at Job's face. Job had so many reasons to
tell God that He can't forgive his friends. But he forgives them and prayed for
them. God restored what Job lost.
3. Today the message is God wants you to throw away the
bitterness that you carry against someone who had done something against you.
You might have hundred reasons but God is not ready to hear that. He just wants
you to forgive and pray for them because God wants to restore what you lost and
He wants you to be blessed
