Job 1:21 (KJV)
21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
That saying which really is not in the Bible, is in reference to this verse, it mean we have only what God gives us, nothing more. We come into this world naked and we leave the same way.
This “alleged Biblical” saying is quoted as much as “God helps those who help themselves”
“This alleged Biblical saying is quoted as much as God helps those who help themselves”
I was actually quoting Job when I first said it, and that’s why I mentioned him in my reply.
Perhaps you misunderstood me, but I perfectly meant that we have nothing but what God has given us, and the LORD with sovereign right can take it away, according to His purpose, and often does with the afflictions He allows to fall upon us in the world.
