Job 1:21
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."

I am still a twelve year old boy at heart, I think. When I read this verse the first thing I think of is, "hehehe. He said naked." Once I get past the giggling and mature up for a minute (just a minute mind you), I realize the absolute truth of this statement. The life altering, purpose changing, eternally minded, truth of this statement. What if we lived like we believed this statement for real? All of the "stuff" we work for every single day, even the people we love and work for, will not be there after we die. Yet we work so hard for them. If our life is truly just a vapor in the air of eternity, then why aren't we spending more time in the second half of this verse than the first? What do you think you are going to be able to take with you?
