Job 1:20-22 - Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: "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."
Job was in the middle of the greatest trial of his life. In one day's time he lost his sons and daughters, his enemy stole his livestock and killed his servants, fire destroyed his sheep and servants, and finally finally his camels were stolen and those servants put to the sword.
In the morning he was among the greatest men in the region, by afternoon all that he had accomplished in his life was destroyed.
Filled with loss and grief he cries out, "The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised." Job was a true man of faith.
I don't have nearly as much to lose as Job, but my prayer is that should I lose it all I would be able to trust God and realize that it is all in his hands.
Prayer: Lord, I may not have a lot, but what I do have has been a blessing from you. Help me to always be thankful and to realize that all I have is only on loan from you and you can call it back at any time. Grant me the grace that whatever happens in life I can say "The Lord be praised." Amen.
