Lord, you have
placed us in the United
States of America and other nations of the
world so we would seek you!
Lord, it is
time for us to claim the Spirit according to your will.
For the Spirit
God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and
self-discipline.
Lord, when we claim the Spirit; help us to live
by the Spirit.
Job
42 New
International Version
Then
Job replied to the Lord: “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours
can be thwarted.
You asked, ‘Who is this
that obscures my plans without knowledge?’ Surely
I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.
“You
said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer
me.’ My ears
had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.
Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”
Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”
Epilogue
After
the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the
Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two
friends, because you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has. So now take seven bulls and
seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for
yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and
not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken the truth about
me, as my servant Job has.” So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad
the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord told them; and the Lord
accepted Job’s prayer.
After
Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave
him twice as much as he had before. All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him
before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over
all the trouble the Lord had brought on him,
and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.
The Lord blessed the latter part of
Job’s life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six
thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys. And he also had seven sons and
three daughters. The first daughter he named
Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch. Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful
as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with
their brothers.
After
this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their
children to the fourth generation. And so Job died, an old man and full of years.
We Claim
these things with the Power in the Name of Jesus; Christ the Messiah. Amen.
