“Together with Christ Jesus He also raised us up and seated us in the heavens, so that in the coming ages He might display the immeasurable riches of His grace through His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:6-7 HCSB
We are the apple of God’s eye. He wants to show us off like he did with Job. Job was a righteous and blameless man. He was not perfect but he was in right standing with God. He was obedient he even prayed for his kids just incase they sinned during their parties. God was proud of Job in front of the angles and satin. (Job 1). However God is not going to make our life as miserable as Job’s but He will be there during our storms. Nobody wants to loose everything including kids, riches and health. But God promises that anything that gets taken or given up for Him He will restore above what was taken or given up.
“After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his prosperity and doubled his previous possessions.
So the Lord blessed the last part of Job’s life more than the first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. He also had seven sons and three daughters.”

“Jesus said to them, “I assure you: In the Messianic Age, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses, brothers or sisters, father or mother, children, or fields because of My name will receive 100 times more and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
