I love the book of Job. Jason and I were reading through it together the other day and I'm so struck at Job's faithfulness. He lost all his livestock- thousands of animals; all his many servants; and all 10 of his kids! I can't even fathom experiencing that much heartache. But what was His response?
"Then Job arose and tore his clothes and shaved his head, and he fell to the ground and worshipped. He said,
'Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and naked I shall return there.
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.'
Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God."
Job 1: 20-22
When trials come will we blame God and turn away from Him? Or will we be faithful, as Job was faithful and praise His name through it- remembering God's goodness and sovereignty despite how we feel?
