What kind of reaction would anyone give when the unknown strikes? Unknown could be any kind of shock or emotional stress caused by an unexpected incident happening in life. This could make us bizarre for a moment and it may take hours to come to realize that something has happened which has shaken us badly...
Perhaps this was the same condition with Job when he faced one calamity after the another.He couldn't just compose from one shock when the next one took place. Finally we are surprised by his piety and reaction...
Job 1:21 (New Living Translation)
He said...
The Lord gave me what I had,
and the Lord has taken it away.
Praise the name of the Lord!
Job did not say this in a sarcastic way. He acknowledged the sovereignty of the Lord in His life. That is exactly what we need to have in our life- acknowledging the Lord's complete control in our life and accepting it well. We do not need extravagant faith but simple acknowledgement of His control over our lives and child-like trust. That is more than any mountain shaking faith...
