#soap # Job 42 ## Title: A Full Life ## Scripture: (Job 42:17) “And so Job died, old and full of days.” (NET) ## Observation: The Bible ends the story of Job by saying he lived a long, full life. This is quite the understatement. Job had it all, lost it all, had a conversation with God, and got it all back with interest. Wow. Our lives will be full as well. This doesn’t always mean good. However, we shouldn’t look at our lives merely as good and bad moments. We never really know what one event will lead to. Job had a terrible day and lost everything he had. However, it led to having a powerful encounter with God and the restoration of all he had lost. It was a bad day, but it led to something beautiful. Instead of seeing our life as merely good or bad, we should work toward having a full life. Whatever comes has no ability to define what God’s Word says about us. He has called us His own. In Him, we are significant, secure, and accepted. Then, we can see all the events of life as building blocks, and God is building a full life. ## Application: Let God build your life. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being a trustworthy Builder.
