Job

As I have previously stated Elijah and Elisha are some of my favorite characters out of the Old Testament. However Job is one that stands out so sharply for me because it seems I can take almost anyone in the world and compare their situation to his, and he blows them out of the water. Even Joseph Smith who endured so much in his life was told at Liberty Jail in D&C 121:10

"Thou art not yet as Job; thy friends do not contend against thee, neither charge thee with transgression, as they did Job."

I take this into my life to mean that things can always get worse. Or the much more positive way to look at it, we ALWAYS can count our blessings.

That is one of my first lessons from Job.
