Ultimately a Giver (Job 29)

Why would God take from Job his wealth, when he used it to help the poor and needy?

Why would God take from Job his family, when he was such a good Dad and a godly role model?

Why would God take from Job his health, when he served God with all his strength?

“The Lord gave me what I had,” Job declared, “and the Lord has taken it away.”

It is doubtless God’s prerogative to give and to take away, but surely the Creator of so great a universe is ultimately a Giver and not a Taker. So, if that is true, what is being given to Job in place of those things the Lord has taken away?
