Good morning beloved, happy Thursday,
“But he said he said to her, “‘You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?’ In all this Job did not sin with his lips.”
(Job 2:10).
God has been so good us, and His goodness far outweighs our adversities and troubles. The book of Job tells of Job and all that the suffered. He will forever be known for his patience.
Job lost his wealth and his health. Imagine in one day losing all his children, his servants, his livestock, his friends, and finally his health. I can’t imagine what he went through. And sadly, his wife turned against him. She said in Job 2:9. “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!” She wasn’t exactly a supportive wife! That must have made things worse for Job, not to mention Job’s three friends; who instead of comforting him, they condemned him.
Job’s reply to his wife is applicable to our lives today. We must accept adversity as well as prosperity. God uses adversity to test our faith and teach us to depend fully on Him.
Have a blessed day with its adversity and prosperity; with gains and losses; defeats and victories; failures and successes. Stay safe and healthy.
Don’t question what God sends our way, but thank Him every day.
