Job and Peter Pickett

I have read the book of Job. I read it because I came across some scripture that interested me in his life. In my life, I lost everything also. I lost my wife, partially my children, endured the pain and confusion of why daddy wasn't at home. I lost my home. I was stricken with depression that would not allow me to work.

Wow.

Let me continue. As I have written before, God is thriving in my life and I can't comprehend how He did it! Do I care? All I know is that after all the calling out for the Lord's help, I received it. I lived with my parents for several week, NOW I am reconciled with my wife. I used to live w/out my wife because she worked nights, so the children and I would be w/out her presence, NOW she just completed her first week on her new job during the day. There was a house guest that was staying in Palmer for the school year that was not easy to deal with, NOW that guest is gone. My children only could be with one parent, NOW they have full-time access to both of us in our family. I used to be depressed. NOW I am revived. 

What happened in Jobs life was amazing. Gods multiplied his life, more that what he had. He prospered because he valued God's favor for Him and because of his faith. 

What a tough trial I have endured. Life isn't easy. The world is ruled by the Prince of the earth, but he can only do what the Lord allows him to do. God seems to always get the last word.
