Stop blaming God. Start giving thanks...!

Job 2:9-10 NKJV

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.

Shalom! Day #157. Do you know that whenever we encounter problem, the first question we always ask is "WHY GOD, WHY ME?" Let's pray. Father, forgive us for everytime questioning You whenever we encounter problem or troubles. We know everything works for good. Help us to see the big picture You have for us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

There is one good point here that Job is showing us. His attitude towards the testings he went through defines his altitude and his character towards God. People or shall I say the church always look up to servants of God for encouragement and so on. They study the life of the servants of God. They see how does the servants of God go through hard time. Do they blame it on God and leave the ministry, or they take it as a challenge and go through it? In this verse, Job pointed out one good point. While he was in distress condition, things around him are failing, he lost his property, his families, his livestock and even fall sick, yet he did not open up his mouth to curse God or ask God, "Why God why?" His wife said, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!” Such a discouraging word, yet Job, remain steadfast and he did not deny God or blame God for what he was going through.

In this passage, what I have learned is to GIVE THANKS NO MATTER WHAT YOUR SITUATION IS. And we can see what Job replied to his wife 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?” People are happy and they even give thanks when God blesses them, when they get promotion, when things all going smoothly but then when things go wrong they began to question God WHY GOD? Quoting from what Job replied to his wife " Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?" Even in the darkest hour, through the sorrows and the pain... I will sing, I will praise, lift voice to honor You for Your word is true. Amen.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
