If we had been in Job's place, could we have spoken as Job did, "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord."? God never allows His people to experience more than they can take with His strength and grace. "Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?" Are we prepared and committed to God to accept adversity and to remain loyal to Him? Other passages mentioned include: Job 1:1,14-21; 1 Peter 5:8; 1 Corinthians 10:13.
