No Regrets

Job 42:16-17 (NLT) 16 Job lived 140 years after that, living to see four generations of his children and grandchildren. 17 Then he died, an old man who had lived a long, full life.

I think that if I was to write the epitaph of Job’s life I would have said something like this – “Job lived 140 years – he had a lot of kids and grandkids. Job lived out his life in depression and trouble and died bitter and angry at God and the world.” Thank God, I’m not Job’s God. The scriptures say that “he died, an old man who had lived a long, and full life.” Think about that for a second. His life was full in spite of the trials and troubles he had. He did allow the hellish attacks from Satan or his friends to bring Him down. He came to the end of life full. He wasn’t bitter or angry. He found His peace in God and His sovereignty over man. He fully trusted God who always remained faithful to him – even to the end.
