Job 1-2

In chapter 1, Job was put to the test by Satan. Satan was trying to get Job to curse God. Job lost everything from this children to his livestock. Verse 21 says "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised." I think says a lot about who Job is. He knows that the LORD gave him the livestock he had and blessed him and his wife with children and he knows the what happened to his family was in the LORD hands. Like the verse says, the LORD gave and the LORD has taken away. Job fears the LORD, so he trust in what the LORD can do and praises him no matter what happens.

  1. I really like this, Brittany. The idea that everything is a blessing from God really puts things in perspective. Why should we complain when our unearned blessings are taken from us? Instead, we should praise the Lord for the simple fact that He has given everything we have and despite it having been taken away, God can give it all again if we remain faithful.
