We know that God blessed Job financially after his troubles but what I want to point out is the first way this took place. It took place when others helped. In Verse 11 it says, "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." God used people to help Job recover from disaster. This should be a lesson for us and as I look around and see the help that is given to those in need I can attest that at least in this part of the world it normally does happen at least in big disasters. The question is how are we doing it with our brothers and sisters? Yes, there are times when giving someone money. even if they lost everything, would be bad for them, but what about the rest of the time? Are you willing to help someone next door if no one will ever know your name?
Side note: Notice the equality Job granted his daughter?
