Job’s wife spoke foolishly when she provoked him to abandon hope and faith in God because he was experiencing such hardships. (Covid, racial injustice, sickness, death, financial struggle, loss of loved ones, etc.) Job said that God gives and God takes away. Blessed be the name of God! He’s still worthy.
Just because your circumstances changed doesn’t mean that God has changed. 2020 is only doing what God is allowing it to do. 2020 is not an enemy for a child of God. As ugly as it’s been, it still benefits God’s chosen. ALL things are working for our good. Yep. Even when it hurts. God uses it for our growth and His glory. And if God chooses not to change our circumstances, trust that He’ll change us.
Remember, God doesn’t measure time or seasons the way we do. We don’t know when the new season will come. Neither do we know what the new season will hold. But we know that God holds the season. Trust Him through it and on your way to it. He’s still worthy to be praised!
But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
