Job 42:10–17, “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. Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold. So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. He had also seven sons and three daughters. And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch. And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations. So Job died, being old and full of days.”
The Lord had always planned to give Job a richer and deeper appreciation of His love and majesty. In spite of Satan’s lies to the Lord, Job didn’t give up his faith even though he lost his wealth and then his health. Job reached the stage where he was overwhelmed with a deep sense of the Lord’s greatness and goodness. When Job reached that stage, he had proved that Satan was just lying to the Lord and Job loved the Lord for the fact that the Lord is the Lord. The Lord gave Job everything that he had lost back and even more. The story of Job is that anyone who loves the Lord God of heaven and trusts Him can trust the Lord in times of hardship. The Lord is simply working to give that person a deeper and richer appreciation of His love, goodness and majesty. If a person learns to thank and praise the Lord when he is suffering then he will experience the peace of God in his heart. This is the ultimate and richest gift of all. (Is 26: 3)
