When we surpass our suffering tasks we will be loving of God’s words and considerate of his message. If in one moment we trusted him blindly we will finally take our blindfold off our eyes and see God’s message and creation as a whole and divine miracle that brought us life. This is what God’s words bring us in the last part of Job’s life which answers all questions about our actions and rightfulness in God’s eyes. “I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.” -42:5 We see that the truthful believers will prevail over the mediocre believers who blame and give up. Those who consider their actions and have perspective over the whole picture and consider other’s actions as part of the divine comedy each of us lives each day, will see the truth in God’s words and creation which will finally bring pleasure and joy to those who search happiness.
Those who brought suffering to the faithful and pure individual will face consequences that God’s overseeing power and justice will met out. Those who bring help to other’s lives will be rewarded by God’s almighty power in a final word which makes those true believers of a supreme lord and justice. “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.” -42:10 After the dark and unmerciful tunnel of suffering, immediate love and reward will come to the faithful.
Some people believe that the idea of a justice in the afterlife or in God’s hands is a fallacy to manipulate the poor into accepting their dire circumstances now and that way the rich and powerful can manipulate and dominate everything. Yet, I believe that the biggest themes of the human experience: love, friendship, work, loyalty, managing resources, honor, honesty, learning, spirituality, nature, trust, loss, death, illness are shared by one and all during a lifetime.
