God Can Turn Things Around

Scripture:

“But if you pray to God and seek the favor of the Almighty, and if you are pure and live with integrity, he will surely rise up and restore your happy home. And though you started with little, you will end with much.”
‭‭Job‬ ‭8:5-7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Bildad replies to Job and actually gives him good advice this time.  He speaks life to his friend.  He tells him that if he prays and seeks God’s favor, is pure and full of integrity, God will rise up and restore Job’s happy family.  He goes on to say that even though Job is starting again with little, he will end with much because when God’s favor comes, it seriously turns things around.

Application:

When we blow it or feel like things are going terrible, we all need a friend who will speak these things into our lives.  We also need to be a friend who speaks these things into the lives of those around us.  Bildad believed and was convinced that if Job sought the Lord, things would change and he would once again be blessed.

Prayer:

Father, I look to You to pour out your favor on my life, my family, my church and my community.  I ask You to move on our behalf.  Restore everything the enemy has tried to take from us and let us see the day of your blessing and favor.  As we end this 21 day fast, let breakthroughs come in every family associated with Word of Life.

Yours,
Jeff
