Key Verse: Job 1:21 (New International Version)
"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."
Have you ever heard the phrase the patience of Job? Well as it turns out Job wasn't very patient and even cursed God for having ever been born. Job was miserable with the situation he found himself in: livestock, family and most of his workers all dead and now he was covered in boils or soars all over his body. He lost his health, wealth and pretty much his possessions in life, but Job was quickly put in his place when God reminded him that it was He who created the earth, set the stars in their orbit and who could control the rain. Job remembered it would be alright because God was in control. Our key verse is a reminder that we will take nothing with us from this life except our eternal connection with God through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Like Job, we will find troubles and difficulties in life, but we have a savior that has overcome the world and a God that loves His children and wants us to know he knows and is concerned about everything that happens in the lives of His children. Are you making the most of your time on earth? We are not promised a single day longer than today, yet most of us live as though we have eternity to live. Don't put off till tomorrow what can be accomplished today for Christ's Sake!
