A congregational study of the Book of Job. By Pastor Jose Luis
Session two: Job´s first answer.
Job loses ALL his possessions and his children the same day (1, 13-19).
In less than 24 hrs. Job passes from wealthy to homelessness.
His reaction is remarkable: first, he goes into mourning and secondly, he blesses God instead of losing his faith.
This is Job´s answer:
Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell on the ground and worshiped. 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.” In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong (1, 20-22).
How do you apply Job´s answer to this moment in your faith journey?
Tell me your impressions.
