Such a behavior!

Such a behavior!

Job 1.13-22 “¹³ Now there was a day when his sons and daughters wereeating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house; ¹⁴and a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them, ¹⁵ when the Sabeans^[ raided them and took them away—indeed they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
¹⁶ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
¹⁷ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels and took them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
¹⁸ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house, ¹⁹and suddenly a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”
²⁰ Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped. ²¹ And he said:
      “Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
      and naked shall I return there. 
      The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away;
      Blessed be the name of the LORD.”
 In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.”

 

I’ve been astonished by Job’s attitude.

Four messengers announced him that he has lost his household, his possessions, his sons and daughters.

Apparently, he has lost everything but not. He has lost his property and his children but not his faith and fear of God. That’s why, his first reaction after hearing the messengers was to worship God.

This is the great attitude for a worshiper. In fact, a worshiper fears God every time even if he faces to many difficulties.

Beloved, physical things should not disturb our worship. That’s why, Job who feared God kept worshiping even he has lost apparently everything. The most incredible thing is that he did it immediately, after receiving bad news.

Our worship has to be endless. For this reason, don’t wait to receive all you want, don’t wait to be cured for worship the name of the Lord because nothing shall put an end to your worship.

May god help us to worship him every time including during times of troubles, of illness, of unemployment, etc!
