20 Then Job stood up, tore his robe, and shaved his head. He fell to the ground and worshiped,
21 saying: Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will leave this life. The LORD gives, and the LORD takes away. Praise the name of Yahweh.
22 Throughout all this Job did not sin or blame God for anything.
Prayer Warriors,
Job was a man of integrity, a man who loved the Lord, not because of what he had but we know from scripture when everything was taken away, He would not curse God. He fell to his face and worshiped Him. No man has suffered as much as Job, except for our Savior Jesus Christ.
It said, " In all of this Job did not sin or blame God." I love what MacArthur said,
21. Instead of cursing, he blessed the name of Jehovah. Job’s submissive response disproved the adversary’s accusations (1:9–11). So far, Job was what God claimed him to be, a true believer with faith that cannot be broken (v. 8).

I pray that in all we may go through in life, with love ones, work, neighbors.......I pray that we would be blameless in the eyes of our Lord. We would be women of integrity, even when we don't understand! Women of prayer, who persevere in time of trouble. Prayer Warriors that put on the full armor daily, ready for battle. If we've been in a pity party and I know how to do that real good! Remember His promises.
Let us be, who He claims us to be, a true believer with a faith that cannot be broken!
Blessings,
Christina
