Job 1:21

"Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and naked i will depart.
The Lord has given and the Lord has taken away,
May the name of the Lord be praised."

These were the words from Job's mouth upon hearing that his livestock and children_almost everything he had- were taken away from him.

As christians we must learn to accept blessings from God as much as we must learn to let God take them away. God is in control of everything and we know that all things work for the good of those who love Him(Romans 8:28). We should praise and give thanks to Him all the time, whether during times of storm or smooth sailing.

I have come to a conclusion.

Sometimes god calls out to calm our storms.

Sometimes He chooses to sail through them with us.
