Life Giver – Man as Chaplain

“Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell on the ground and worshiped. And he said, ‘Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.’” - Job 1:20-21 ESV

In neonatal intensive care units, doctors care for babies so small they can fit in the palm of a hand. Some weigh less than a pound. They cannot speak. They cannot survive on their own. And yet, when a doctor treats that tiny infant or a nurse cares for that baby, no one asks, “Is this life valuable enough to warrant all this effort?” No one debates whether that life matters. All the medical activity and attention shouts what everyone knows instinctively: This life is precious.

Scripture explains why. Human life has value because it is given by God. That truth is what anchors Job’s confession: “The LORD gave…” (v. 21). Life is sacred. That conviction stands at the heart of Job chapter 1. Scripture establishes a foundational truth: Life belongs to God, because life comes from God. If we miss that, we will misunderstand everything that follows—not only in Job, but in our own lives.

Yet before Job suffered loss, he enjoyed blessing. In fact, the introduction to Job is made in terms of his relationship to God and his blessings from God. At the forefront of God’s blessings on Job are his children—a continuation of life entrusted by the Creator. Apparently, his children also understood the blessing and value of life because we read in verse 4, “His sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one on his day, and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.” That phrase "each on his day" is widely interpreted as referring to the respective birthdays of each of these seven sons. Again, each life is precious and to be celebrated.
