ACCEPTING TROUBLES FROM GOD? Dearly Beloved, ACCEPTING TROUBLES FROM GOD? Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die.” But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips. (Job 2:9-10 ) Job 2:9 Although the reference to Job’s wife is very brief, the content of her speech is significant for how it relates to the heavenly dialogue and for what this connection reveals about the nature of her comments. Her rhetorical question doubts the sensibility of the very thing God finds commendable about Job (Do you still hold fast your integrity? see Job 2:3), and her suggested response advises Job to take the action Satan was looking to provoke (Curse God and die; see Job 1:11; 2:4). Prayer Point: Pray that you will be able to accept any trouble and allow God to make stronger in Him through it.
