“You are talking like a foolish woman” [Job 2:10(NIV)]
July 2
“You are talking like a foolish woman”. Job is not suggesting it is only women who are foolish! He is chastening his wife for her thoughtless suggestion that he ‘curse God and die’. Such words show a lack of moral judgment or respect for a righteous God. As Job points out, ‘Shall we accept good from God and not trouble?’
Discipleship is not conditional on an easy life. All too often, when things go well our attention can be drawn away from the Lord. During hard times our experience of the Lord can become much deeper. When we walk through the valley of darkness, the Lord our Shepherd walks with us.
The promise of eternal life is for those who persevere and don’t give up. Let’s not be distracted by those who want an easy life. [AP]
