Hear in this verse Job is giving an answer to Zophar one of his friends. He just got done talking about the power of God in chapter 12 and here he says if God was to kill him, he would still trust God.
Job's faith in God was not based on how good it seemed that God was treating him. The nice things that he had, his family, God's blessings, or anything that was good. Job's faith was in God and who He is. When God took everything that Job had away he still stood for God a pillar of faith.
Even if God would have killed him he would have still trusted in God.
So much in my life I know that my faith in God and how much I trust in Him is based on what He is doing for me. If things go wrong in my life I often think that God must have abandoned me. I want to have this kind of faith that can stand no matter what I may face in my life.
Oh that I would have the faith of Job and be able to stand for God as he did.
