Ask the LORD for a new level of understanding, as you pray aloud the words of this Lazaroo:

“At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship…”
(Job 1:20)

No wonder You bragged so much about this man, Jesus!

He had just heard news no father could bear to hear:

all his children…killed in a terrible disaster.

He did exactly what anyone of that era would do to express unspeakable grief:

He tore the clothing he was wearing
shaved himself bald, in a dramatic, outward expression of his loss.

But the next thing he did wasn’t like anyone would do –

not in that age or my own –

He fell to the ground…

in worship.

“Worship?”

Praising You?
Trusting You?

At at a time like this?

I don’t know that I would do that.

I don’t know that I could do that!

But this I do know:

You absolutely deserve that level of trust

from me.
