Job 1:20-22

Job 1:20-22
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped.
And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
Job had just lost all his animals which would have been his livelihood and all his children in a mater of minutes. I cannot imagine losing all my children. Look at Job's immediate reaction? He worshipped God. It also says he did not charge God foolishly. What petty things do we get all bent out of shape about and start loosing our faith in God? Let's trust that God is in control and he knows what is best.
