Meditations on Job - an ongoing series

Job 1-3: Serve God for Nothing

If I serve God for nothing more than love, I can show it by praising Him for taking, just as much as I praise Him for giving. How? Through knowing that my most precious things are safest with Him. Like Habakkuk, I can -- if He asks -- relinquish my entire livelihood with the words "yet I will rejoice," because He is my "Shield and exceeding great Reward," the All-Sufficient One who never leaves me.

Yes! This is what people don't seem to get! Though I have dreams that I hold so dearly, should God decide never to grant them, there is nothing to regretted.

The Lord gives and takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord.
