So, how does Job react? How does he respond?
His reaction?
Job arises from where he was sitting and rents (tears) his mantle. He responds in a normal way, he mourns. There is nothing wrong with that.
Then, Job falls flat on his face to the ground, and worships God.
How many Christians would react this way in this situation? He worshipped God after losing almost everything he had.
What an incredible initial reaction. He didn't shake his fist at God or ask God why. He just worshipped. He humbly placed himself in a worshipping position and humbly worshipped God.
There is something to be said about that. By worshipping, Job is making it known that he is going to let everyone who is standing around waiting for him that he understands that God is in control. He understands that God is at the steering wheel of it all and that God will not allow anything to happen to Job that Job cannot get through. Next time, we'll see Job's response to the situation. We'll see what he says.
Until next time....................
