June 18, 2025, Job 2:1-10
2 Again there
was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them to
present himself before the Lord. 2 And
the Lord said to Satan,
“From where have you come?” Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and
from walking up and down on it.” 3 And the Lord said to Satan, “Have you
considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a
blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He
still holds fast his integrity, although you incited me against him to
destroy him without reason.” 4 Then Satan
answered the Lord and
said, “Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life. 5 But stretch
out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to
your face.” 6 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand; only
spare his life.”
7 So Satan
went out from the presence of the Lord and
struck Job with loathsome sores from the sole of his foot to the
crown of his head. 8 And he took a piece of
broken pottery with which to scrape himself while he sat in the ashes.
9 Then his
wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God
and die.” 10 But he said to her, “You speak as one
of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and
shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job did not sin with his
lips.
Wow ! Verse 10 is true but
those words from my husband would crush me. Whether in prosperity or crisis,
Job chose not to sin.
Do we love God equally in
prosperity and suffering.
Think back about a time
you might have been angry with God.
Has God convicted your
heart and called you back to Him? Life is so hard. Ask forgiveness today for
your sins. You will be blessed with peace and comfort.
