What does Job 42:10 teach us in The Restoration of Job?

In this expository sermon on Job 42, Dr. Toby Holt of New Geneva Theological Seminary teaches that Job's suffering was appointed by God not as punishment for sin but according to God's sovereign providence, dismantling the karma-like truism that 'you get what you deserve.' Job's restoration begins the moment he prays for the friends who wronged him, foreshadowing Christ-like intercession, and his doubled earthly blessings point beyond themselves to the resurrection and the treasures reserved in heaven. The sermon's central call is that every trial is a test of faith, answered by trusting God even when He is not understood: 'Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.'
