The Lord Gives and takes
In the book of Job we read,
“The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;
may the name of the Lord be praised.”
Job 1:21
Do you believe this? I think this is a hard concept for people especially here in North America with its materialistic society to understand.
As for me I admire Job. He had things in perspective. He truly loved God and trusted in him. Job going as far as saying,
“Though He (God) slay me, yet will I hope in him;
I will surely defend my ways to his face.”
Job 13:15.
I wonder how many of us can say this? Could you?
Please think about it.
