When I was a child, I used to hate the book of Job. I even tore it out of my Bible because, in my immature mind, it made no sense and didn’t belong there. How wrong I was. I have long since repented of my stupidity. How grateful I am that the book of Job is one of the God-breathed books that make up God’s Word. The closer God gets to me, allowing me to understand and know him, the more valuable his Word has become to me. Like a jewelry box full of secret compartments, each one holding a precious gem.

He has other jewels to...

"Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him" (Malachi 3:16,17)
