Our Attitude Towards Possessions
While reading this morning, I read the first few chapters of the book of Job. Job is initially very rich, owning massive amounts of livestock and real estate. He has a very large family (10 children) and is in fact the richest person in the area. But one day the devil comes and slowly starts to take all of his possessions away, hoping that at some point Job will give in and curse God. Job losses his riches, his family, and even his health, yet his attitude remains, “The Lord gave me much, so the Lord can take much”.
