“The most powerful weapon for silencing the mouth of the world is not brilliant theological apologetics, but the practice of a holy life that resembles Jesus Christ.” “Now it happened, as Jesus went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they were watching Him closely. And behold, there was a certain man before Him who had dropsy. And Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, ‘Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?’ But they kept silent.

How did Job not blame
God even after losing everything?
After losing his ten
children and all his possessions,
Job worshiped God and
said:
'Naked I came from my
mother’s womb, and naked I will depart.

did not sin or blame God
(Job 1:20-22).
When I reflect on this

blame God even after losing everything.
If he had been a

he surely would have
blamed God.
However, Job praised and
worshiped God
even after losing all
his children and possessions.
I believe he was able to
do this because his faith was based on knowing
who God is and
recognizing God's sovereignty.
