Are you thinking, 'Wow, that's harsh." Well I would agree. But that was the response of Job's wife in Job 2:9. I think that we would seldom if ever give that counsel, but do we practice that? When we are facing a trial, don't we ask, "Why God?!" Don't we question God?
I was meeting with a brother last night and we were discussing where we were doing well and where our faith was being tested. He used a phrase regarding his trials that indicated that he questioned if God was playing a cruel joke on him. I laughed because it sounded just like me when I face tough times. But as Jobe would say:
"Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?"
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8).
