Job In the Bible and His Perspective

I saw this on one of my friend's Facebook post and it really spoke to me on having the right perspective of God. Here's the full post:

"Naked I come from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised. Shall we accept good from God and not trouble?" - Job 1:21; 2:10b.

Job maintained the right perspective about God, even when all his property destroyed, loses most of his staff members, and all his children. In all these he did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

This is the strength of a disciplined mind. Perspective though  fickle, but it must be guided by principle. God is constant in the equation, so is his statutes. Stay positive and hopeful in God in all situation.

Philippians 4:8 "think of whatever that is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy."

Romans 8:28 "Not that there is any power in positive thinking. It was God's faithfulness, and He will make all things good for those who loved Him."

Don't let Job come out from the grave to tell you: "I told you so."
