Well, I know that I was naked when my
mama gave me birth. Someday I'll be
naked when I'm buried in this earth. The
one who gives me everything is the very
same as the one who takes it all away.
So blessed be God's name. There once was
a man in the land of who went by the
name of Joe. Had more wealth than any
person on the east side of the globe.
Thousands of camels, cows, and sheep. So
he lived a life with his three
daughters, seven sons, and his beautiful
wife. Now Job was a wholesome person,
honest his whole lifelong. He was a
true, God-fearing man who never did one
wrong. He'd bring a weekly offering for
each of his 10 kids just to atone for
any sin his children may have did. But
one day, a servant came to Job with
news, and it was bad. He said, "Bandits
just attacked us. They stole every cow
you had. I'm the only man who got away.
All the rest fell by the sword." But
before he finished speaking, a second
man burst through the door. He said, "I
was tending to your flock when a raging
fire came. All your 7,000 sheep, they
just went up in flames. I survived, but
all the other shepherds were consumed."
But before he finished speaking, a third
man burst in the room. He said,
"Soldiers of Babylon showed up out of
the blue. They had us surrounded. There
was nothing we could do. They stole all
your camels. I barely escaped alive. But
before he finished speaking, one last
messenger arrived. He said, "Job, I just
came from the home of your eldest son.
Your kids were all there eating,
drinking, just having some fun. When a
whirlwind went from the desert blue and
it came through so fast that only I got
out alive before that house collapsed.
When Job heard all this news, he stood
up, tore his shirt. He threw himself
down on the ground face first in the
dirt. He ripped out almost all the hair
from a top his head. But then he
regained his composure. And this is what
he said.
