"The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away"
"The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away"
1018 days ago 6 comments Categories: Tags:

Did you know that the well known scripture reference "The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away" is actuallly a thought and not necessarily a fact?

The verse refers to Job's thinking after he lost everything, including his family and worldly possessions. Job was speaking what he thought was the truth. In all actually, it was Satan that stole everything from him when God told him that everything but Job's person could be tested.

The verse is often quoted, and almost always used incorrectly. In this trying time of what the world calls a recession, we should stop blaming God for our misfortunes, and give credit where credit is due (Satan).

Things that make you go....hmmmmmmmmm

    So much of what we take as "biblical" is nothing more than an expression of interpretation and era. Remember that the Bible was used liberally to justify slavery. We should all be mindful of Paul's admonition in 2 Timothy 2:15 to read and study for ourselves.

    The bible states that the last shall be first and the first shall be last. I thank God for a recession. Because it changes the order of things.

    Very , very true. There is nothing evil in God he wants us to have everything on the earth, but the Lord will also discipline us when he has to. Its all out of love though

    Read Job 1 as a scripture reference.
