“Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.”
Job 2:9 KJV
Job’s wife said, “Still holding on to your precious integrity, are you? Curse God and be done with it!” Here was Job smitten with boils from the sole of his feet to the crown of his head, soon after the death of all his children and destruction and loss of all his wealth. His wife, unable to take all the sorrow wanted Job to die cursing God, but Job did not listen to her. Yet Job didn’t curse God and later said, “God might kill me, but I have no other hope. I am going to argue my case with Him”, which he did because there was no Mediator at that time. We know that it was satan who brought all the calamity and sorrow albeit he took permission from God. Instead God restored to Job twice as much as he had before and children from the same wife who told Job to curse God and die. God sent His Son to be our Mediator and to restore all things to fulfilment. Scripture says that Jesus descended and He also is the One Who ascended above the heights of heaven, in order to begin the restoration and fulfillment of all things. Thank You Jesus, You restore all things. Let’s believe it. Amen!
