Job

After receiving the news that all his livestock was stolen or killed, his servants and his sons and daughters had been killed… Job responded…

Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped. And he said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.” In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong (Job 1:20-22)

The next area of suffering was his physical body, he was ‘struck with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.’

The scripture records…

Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!” But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips (Job 2:9-10)

 Read, ponder, and pray.

 

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You (Psalm 63:3).
