Job 42:10 And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Helping others is a good thing and may bring rewards we haven't considered.

Job 40: 8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

"In His response to Job, God demands, “Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?” Or in other words, “Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be justified?” Jehovah forcefully reminds Job of His omnipotence and omniscience, and Job in deepest humility admits he possesses nothing even close to the knowledge, power, and righteousness of God and cannot stand in judgment of the Almighty…

It truly is folly for us with our mortal myopia to presume to judge God, to think, for example, “I’m not happy, so God must be doing something wrong.” To us, His mortal children in a fallen world, who know so little of past, present, and future, He declares, “All things are present with me, for I know them all.”

Job 21: 22 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.

"True disciples of the Master are teachable...When humbled and stripped of pride, our heart is softened and now we can focus on heavenly counsel and instruction...As a result of being teachable...[w]e gain the security and certainty that our course in life is according to His will...By being teachable, we activate the full force and blessings of the Atonement in our lives. We become sensitive to the whisperings of the Holy Spirit so that the righteous principles taught by the prophets and the truths from the earth can place Christ deeply into our lives."

I'm looking forward to serving with Cathy in the Bishops Storehouse this afternoon. It's such a great way to meet and learn about our brothers and sisters who are perhaps in need themselves or are also serving others who are in need. Plus the other service Missionaries with whom we serve are great friends and examples of love and service. It's truly a great experience each week.

Job 13: 15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

16 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.

"Job was rich and had seven sons and three daughters, but his property and children were all destroyed. What effect did this have on Job? Said he, speaking of the Lord, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him,” and, “He also shall be my salvation.”...Job completely trusted the Lord to take care of all of the other concerns.

The way to find joy in this life is to resolve, like Job, to endure all for God and His work. By so doing we will receive the infinite, priceless joy of being with our Savior in the eternities."

Gratitude. There is much to learn about gratitude. It is very important.

Come Follow Me:

Job 1: 21 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.

22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

"…[T]he choice is ours. We can choose to limit our gratitude, based on the blessings we feel we lack. Or…We can choose to be like Job, who seemed to have everything but then lost it all. Yet Job responded by saying, “Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return…: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” 

…We can choose to be grateful, no matter what. 

This type of gratitude transcends whatever is happening around us. It surpasses disappointment, discouragement, and despair. It blooms just as beautifully in the icy landscape of winter as it does in the pleasant warmth of summer. 

When we are grateful to God in our circumstances, we can experience gentle peace in the midst of tribulation. In grief, we can still lift up our hearts in praise. In pain, we can glory in Christ’s Atonement."

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Apostle, April 2014, Grateful in any Circumstances
