From the beginning, God planned His Creation to be a garden of joyful beauty; but sin has turned Creation into a battlefield of ugliness and misery.
Man in his selfishness is wasting natural resources, polluting land, air, water, and outer space, and so ravaging God’s Creation that scientists wonder how long our planet will support life as we know it.
Mahatma Gandhi was right: “There is a sufficiency in the world for man’s need but not for man’s greed.”

/Until we are silenced before God, He can’t do for us what needs to be done./
As long as we defend ourselves and argue with God, He can’t work for us and in us to accomplish His plan through us.
But Job was not quite broken and at the place of sincere repentance.
He was silent but not yet submissive; so, God continued His address.
“In the whole story of Job,” wrote G. Campbell Morgan, “we see the patience of God and endurance of man.
When these act in fellowship, the issue is certain.
It is that of the coming forth from the fire as gold, that of receiving the crown of life” /(The Answers of Jesus to Job,/ Baker,/ /p.
117).
No matter what God permits to come into our lives, He always has His “afterward.”
He writes the last chapter—and that makes it worth it all.
Therefore, BE PATIENT!
We must not misinterpret this final chapter and conclude that every trial will end with all problems solved, all hard feelings forgiven, and everybody “living happily ever after.”
It just doesn’t always happen that way!
This chapter assures us that, no matter what happens to us, /God always writes the last chapter./
Therefore, we don’t have to be afraid.
We can trust God to do what is right, no matter how painful our situation might be.
But Job’s greatest blessing was not the regaining of his health and wealth or the rebuilding of his family and circle of friends.
His greatest blessing was /knowing God better and understanding His working in a deeper way./
As James wrote, “You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the purpose of the Lord, that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful” (James 5:11, edW¸).
And Hebrews 12:11 reminds us: “Now, no chastening seems to be joyous for the present, but grievous; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it”
