Deliverance from self pity

WORDs of Saving Grace - deliverance from self pity

Job 42:10  And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

It seems that no one suffered like Job throughout the Bible, except for our Lord Jesus. He showed great resilience and patience through his trial and affliction and the fruit of his tribulation was patience.

James 5:11

Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

But the deliverance of satan's strong hold with Job came when he no longer focused on his trial, tribulation and affliction. 

The LORD helped Job to realize all of the Lord's ways are perfect and that the Lord even knows Job's thoughts.

Job 42:2  I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.

He had heard of the Lord God his entire life, but through his trial and affliction he could now see God for who He truly is... Our Redeemer who suffered and died with the sin of all mankind upon Him.

Job 23:10  But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

Job 42:5  I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.

Through the trials and affliction of Job his heart was made pure as gold in fully trusting the Lords will and salvation.

Matthew 5:8  Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
