Breaking Point

As I'm studying Job this week, I've been dumbfounded by this man of God.
Satan literally takes everything Job has, and then gives him a terrible disease.
It's really made me think.
What's my breaking point?
Job's wife pleads with him multiple times to curse the Lord and die, but he refuses.
Would I do the same?
At what point would I say "God, I can't take this. It's too much."
At what point would I say "this suffering is unbearable. I can't go on."
Would I, like Job, in the depth of my suffering and anguish, praise God?
Wouldn't I doubt God?
Wouldn't  I question Him?
Wouldn't I be angry?
Wouldn't I feel like I wouldn't deserve it?
The faith of Job is crazy.
That's the faith I want.
I want to say "God, take everything."
I want to be able to know that, no matter what, I will praise the Lord.
He is my Redeemer.
Job. What an example of faith.
