“Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head,
and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped.” Job 1:20
In the mystery of his ways God permitted Job to be
deprived of everything he possessed, though he himself had just borne witness
of him that there was “none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man.”
Four messengers had arrived almost simultaneously with the news that within the
compass of one short day, he had been stripped of everything he possessed. How
did he react? He fell down before God and worshiped.
Where there is true worship, there are no complaints. Here
was a man so utterly subject to God that he could unhesitatingly bow to all his
ways. Let us cease questioning God’s dealings with us, and with our brothers
and sisters, however baffling they may be. Let us cease asking him for explanations
and in simplicity accept that his thoughts are higher than our thoughts and all
his ways are perfect.
