Job 1 21 is a word that every human race should actually know and embrace in the whole world,especially kenyans and their leaders,those killings that we are seeing is not supposed to be there if only we know this word,people being proud and selfish after acquiring some little wealth,it teaches us to be humble

If all people on earth could stand loyal to God as Job did even when he had nothing he still gave God praises

"The Lord gives": God, through Jesus, offers mankind salvation and redemption. i.e. He wants to give mankind eternal life.
"The Lord takes: God is willing take away the wages of sin if we accept the message of The Cross.

It's,amazing how so many people don't realize nothing on this earth belongs to us,the Lord giveth and taketh away. We so often put our every being in worldly things

Every thing on earth shall pass away. I thank God for the word.

V.21. Only some logical thoughts. Job said ...and the Lord has taken away. Job, likely did not have Vs. 8-12 as we do now, telling us that it was Satan who took all his children and posessions in an attempt to disprove Job's loyalty. During much loss and suffering, Job maintained his integrity for God. Might this loving, caring God also permit evil powers to torment us for the same reason? I don't think so since our security is in Christ and He has already won the battle for us. Lets live for Jesus. Blessed be His name.
