GHG SHORT DEVOTIONALS - 10 (FORGIVE THOSE WHO HAD HURT YOU)

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
