Job

I'm reading a book on Job and I find a striking story of loss and through all of the loss we find Job response.

Job 1:20-21 (The Message)

20 Job got to his feet, ripped his robe, shaved his head, then fell to the ground and worshiped:

21 Naked I came from my mother's womb,
naked I'll return to the womb of the earth.
God gives, God takes.
God's name be ever blessed.

I find this is a beautiful response. He strikes the truth and shows his true love for God.

All is God's anyways, it's all on loan, so if you will to take it all away, I trust you and love you God. Job is a man of heroic endurance.

I think when ever reading this story we have to remember the end of the story. That God has more to his plan than what it seems in the moment.
