Job 1:21 - And he said, “Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord."
How many of us will stand this truth? What will be our reactions when see blessings being taken away from our lives?
The verse above expresses the attitude that we should have as a child of God. When we are dealing with children, we sometimes take away certain things (majorly toys) from them because we know that they might get hurt while using (playing with) them, so the same principle applies to us as well.
Does our attitude change towards God when He takes away things (what we consider as good) from our life?
We need to practice what we learn and apply it in our day to day life, Job did it and we can see it from the very beginning of his life that he looked at all his achievements, recognitions, positions, material blessings in the similar way and we see in the Bible that his attitude towards God didn't change when he had lost everything including his children and God was well pleased with him and blessed him double-fold, so Job got back everything X2.
Let's look at the creator than the created things because positions, achievement, material blessings are temporary but our relationship with God is eternal.
Have A Blessed Day!
God Bless
Every Day With Jesus
