Today's Favorite Verse: Job 42:10, 12-13
"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.
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."

The trial of Job appears to have ended when Job prayed for his friends that had abused him.

"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"
(Matthew 5:44)

For this Job was blessed double what he had before. I found it interesting that the number of sons and daughters did not increase. Why is that?  Because, the sons and daughters that passed on are his eternally. The ones on earth were his increase.
