Sin not with your lips...!

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 #198. Do you know that the percentage of Christians give thanks to God during hard times is lesser than during when all is well? Let's pray. Father, forgive us for being such a hypocrite, whereby we teach others to give thanks in all situations but we failed to do so. Forgive us for only giving thanks when all is well, when we are blessed and so on. Lord, in every events and situations of our lives, teach us to give thanks with a grateful heart. In Jesus name we ask and pray, Amen!

We as human beings, it's a common thing that we don't really give thanks in hard times or even shout hallelujah when we go through all kinds of faith shaking moments in our lives, but that's not a biblical act and that's not what the Lord is teaching us and have taught us. The bible says in I Thessalonians 5:18 NKJV in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. This is what we must do as believers of Christ Jesus. In everything,  it doesn't matter whether your boss scolds or praise you, it doesn't if you had bad day, it doesn't matter if there's something bad happened in your family,  it doesn't matter if you are sick or fallen sick, have an attitude of thanks giving. Just because God did not answer your prayers doesn't mean that God isn't aware of your situation, doesn't mean that God is sleeping. Sometimes we need to check our lives before God, are we doing the right thing? Let the shouts of praise and thanksgiving be heard and not complaints and cursing God.

In today's verse,  we see here how Job reacted in the tough situations he ho through. At one hand his wife is nagging at him another hand he remains calm and trusting God. His wife said, "Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!" It's better to die in unbelief than dying in knowing the truth yet we refuse to allow God to do His part. The reason Job held fast to his faith in God, because he knows that God will never leave him nor forsake him. He knows the truth and he choose to give thanks to God. His reply to his wife was “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” And it is written that "In all this Job did not sin with his lips." Yes! We must know what's coming out of our mouth. When things aren't going the way it suppose to be, do not be shaken! Speak into the supernatural realm, speak a word of thanksgiving to God, and you shall see how God creates an extraordinary miracle for you! The devil will try his best to stop you from giving thanks to God, but you must not give in to his schemes. The devil tried to break Job's spirit, but he stood strong on the word of God! Are you going through some situations in your life where it seems so difficult for you to just say, "thank You God" well you must try doing it now and see how God creates a miracle for you! Not just giving thanks when all things are doing well, but also in every unpleasant situations of our lives,  give thanks with a grateful heart! Sin not with your lips. In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
