HE WILL BLESS US FOR IT!

So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did as the Lord commanded them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer on their behalf.   Then, when Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his wealth and happiness! In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!  (Job 42:9-11 TLB)  Never underestimate the influence of friends.  Although they are friends and their intentions well meaning, even the closest of them may offer advice that is not so sound.   In such times we must have grace enough to cover them as we maintain our cause and stance before the Lord.  He will bless us for it!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for friends.  Help us to always have grace enough to cover them as we like Job, maintain our cause and stance before you.  Amen!

Job 1:20-22. . . . Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.   In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.  KJV
