Job 1:20-21 (NKJV) 20 Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped. 21 And he said: \u201cNaked I came from my mother\u2019s womb, And naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Job had just received terrible news that he had lost everything in a very short span of time. He had gone from having a family and being wealthy with material goods, to losing it all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Imagine how he must have felt. Despair would most likely be an understatement. He probably felt hopeless, dejected and despondent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Job did what people did back then when a catastrophe struck. He tore his clothing and shaved his head.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But notice what he did next. He worshiped God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is one of the most interesting aspects of these verses. Despite his great sorrow and his terrible loss, he worshiped God in the midst of it all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How many of us would worship God if disaster such as this struck us?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Most of us would more than likely be in deep despair, with worshiping God far from our minds. But this is a good test for us, to measure where we\u2019re at spiritually.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now, this doesn\u2019t mean that we shouldn\u2019t be sad or we shouldn\u2019t mourn the loss of someone we love. But it\u2019s a good reminder to check ourselves and our priorities, to see where we\u2019re at.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Every situation is different. And each of us is in a different place spiritually. So, it\u2019s not a terrible thing if we don\u2019t drop what we\u2019re doing and begin worshiping God when something bad happens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But, as we ponder on this, it should give us some insight as to where our priorities are.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
