Promise
I love the promise of this verse. If you read further it talks about keeping your feet on his path. That is the way that we turn to gold. We MUST remain faithful to HIM!!!

Choosing Praise
Job 1:20
At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship.
I find myself amazed at Job's response. He has just been told of calamity after calamity that his family experienced including the death of all his children. His response is not worry or complaint but worship! What a contrast to the Israelites wandering in the desert who complained about everything. What a contrast with today where as a society we tend to complain more than we worship.
I hope and pray that as life's adversity and inconvenience arise, I can say as Job did, "May the name of the Lord be praised."
