Are you a believer as was JOB? Beginning of Job

Good morning!  God is good all the time, all the time God is good. God is here, with you, right now, so fear not!
  My intent is to read the Bible chronologically for this next year.  At this time I am in Job.  We all hear the stories of Job and how great a man of God he was; but, do we really know the story?
  Okay, put yourself in the place of Job.  You are living the good life; everything you need you have.  Children, livestock (wealth), and it seems the Midas touch is with you-meaning everything you touch, try, or do is prosperous.  AND THEN.......
  Unbeknown to you things will go south quickly and all at once.  Just like the people who have been caught in the ponsi schemes, everything is gone.  What do you do????
   We can complain (which we all do), be depressed, leave family, suicide, be angry constantly, curse God; OR, we can keep our faith in God and praise HIM in the good times and the bad.  Which are you most likely to do? (Soul search)
  We have to remember GOD is with us always; HE sent JESUS to shed HIS blood for YOU, JESUS sent the Comforter - the HOLY SPIRIT to be with us. We must remember that GOD is always with us, hears our prayers, our moans, complaints, praises, HE hears it all.
   Job 9: 11 When he passes me, I cannot see him;
    when he goes by, I cannot perceive him.
12 If he snatches away, who can stop him?
    Who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
  God is with us always, constantly, in every moment of every breath, HE is with us.  So now, back to my main question----Can or do you believe as JOB? To praise God in the good times and the bad times?  Please remember this and put your name after you:
  1 Peter 2: But you, (name), are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you, (name), may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
  Praise God!  Thank God you are a child of the Living God!  Yea.  Thank you for reading with me today.  Love y'all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
