Re: Pray that we celebrate the material wealth our Lord provides!
Okay, here's what happened to Job at the end with regard to material possessions:
Job 42:10-12: And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold. So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
So yes, the Lord gave and took away, but the Lord then gave more than He had before because Job turned to Him.
