Job's life was reviewed and testified by three people as we read in the bible. He was testied by the author and God as "This man was blameless and upright; he feared God ahd shunned evil".
Satan confesses about the blessedness of Job, "Have you(God) not put a hedge around him and his household and every thing he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land."
From Job's life we see that Satan tries to accuse God's people all the time. But we need to take courage because God has washed our sins and made us righteous through the blood of Jesus Christ. As long as you take refuge under the blood of Jesus Christ, you have right standing before God.
After his children were wiped out, his wealth was destroyed by various attacks created by Satan, after losing everything, Job submits himself with humility under God's might hand with an attitude of worship and worships God saying, "Naked I came from my mother's womb and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised". What an attitude of courage and mature character Job shows here. As some body said, "It doesn't matter what happens to you, but all that matters is how you react to what happens to you".
Job can come out with such an attitude because he didn't develop any attachment to his material things and not even with his family. He knows that these are all the blessings given by God and he very well acknowledged that they belong to God 100%, which means Job has brought them under God's control and he has given God the right to take them anytime God pleases.
