When life turns sour

When life turns sour

Job 2: 10

But he [Job] said to her,

You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. [thoughtless. Irrational, irreverent]

What? SHALL WE ACCEPT ONLY GOOD AT THE HAND OF GOD?

and SHALL WE NOT ALSO ACCEPT MISFORTUNE and what is of a bad nature?

In spite of all this, Job did not sin with his lips. [said nothing by any hasty or derogatory expression to reflect upon God]

Pray the Word:
Lord, we take the joy and pleasure of the the pleasant things of life with gladness and gratitude, but, too often, if You allow something in our life that is difficult, we abandon that gratitude and begin to blame You because life is suddenly different than we thought it would be. Please strengthen our faith in You, that we can accept from Your hand both good and evil. Thank You that Your purposes for us, though sometimes painful, will always turn out for our good.
