I'm reading Job chapter 1 and am astounded at Job's response to losing his livelihood and his children: he mourned and then he "fell to the ground in worship". Wow! That would certainly not be one of my first responses! In verse 1 he was described as "blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil" and in verse 3 "He was the greatest man among all the people of the East". I've always focused on verse 22 "In all this, God did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing" and overlooked the fact that one of his first responses was to worship. What an inspiration...not only to remember to worship during difficult times but to be blameless and upright and to have such a relationship with God that when difficult times come one of my first responses is to worship God. Thank you Job for inspiring me!
