The Book of Job 1:6-22 One day the sons of God came to attend on the LORD, and among them was satan. So the LORD said to satan, Where have you been? Round the earth, he answered, roaming about. So the LORD asked him, Did you notice my servant Job? There is no one like him on the earth: a sound and honest man who fears God and shuns evil. Yes, satan said, but Job is not God-fearing for nothing, is he? Have you not put a wall around him and his house and all his domain? You have blessed all he undertakes, and his flocks throng the countryside. But stretch out your hand and lay a finger on his possessions: I warrant you, he will curse you to your face. Very well, the LORD said to satan all he has is in your power. But keep your hands off his person. (Satan went off and of course caused so much destruction in Jobs life, his losing his children, cattles.....possessions! And when Job received the news.....) Job rose and tore his gown and shaved his head. Then falling to the ground he worshipped and said: Naked I came from my mothers womb, naked I shall return. The LORD gave, the LORD has taken back. Blessed be the name of the LORD! In all this misfortune Job committed no sin nor offered any insult to God. In the end, God did blessed Job twice over........for his faithfulness and trust in God (who is in control of everything)
