Job 2:9 ERV: “Job’s wife said to him, ‘Are you still holding on to your faith? Why don’t you just curse God and die!’”
Faithful to the end, Job remained consistently loyal to Almighty God, in spite of all the misfortune that had befallen him. He explains: “Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?”
Every word in the Bible is true, and I believe Job’s wife did say these words. But just because it’s in the Bible doesn’t mean we should do that thing. Job’s wife has it all wrong!
Her comment is based on a faulty premise. Think about it - God doesn’t have evil in his repertoire. He only dispenses love, goodness and kindness. Evil originates with Satan, the devil.
If you read to the end of the story, Job is totally healed and fully restored! God is good, all the time! God always wins in the end!
No one is worthless; they can always serve as a bad example!
