LET GO AND LET GOD

So the Lord blessed Job in the second half of his life even more than in the beginning... (Job 42:12 NLT) When darkness is in your life and all hope is gone - remember Job. He lost everything - his family - his wealth - as he was under a barrage of attacks from Satan. His friends consoled him miserably and even Job was so hopeless that he wanted to die. The key for Job was two words: 1- Forgiveness - the Bible says that when he prayed for his friends who had wronged him, that God restored his fortunes, and 2 - Repentance - Job finally admitted to God that he knew nothing and was going to trust God for wherever God would lead him. It was after doing both these things that God restored his fortunes and even blessed him more than he had previously. If you are having a difficult time today, go to God and seek His favor on your life and ask God to remove all bitterness and unforgiveness. Pray for those who hurt you and know that God will release untold places of wealth in the places of barrenness and hopelessness. Corrie Ten Boom once said to me, "Let go and let God." i think those are good words to live by today.
