Job 1: The Lord Gives, And The Lord Takes Away

Job Chapter 1 introduces Job, a man described as blameless, upright, and God-fearing. Despite his wealth and faithfulness, God permits Satan to test Job’s devotion. Within a single day, Job loses his children, servants, and much of his possessions. Instead of cursing God, Job worships Him, saying, “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away.” This chapter highlights themes of faith under trial, trust in God, and the unseen spiritual battle between good and evil.
