Verse from Job

“约伯 却对她说：「你说话像愚顽的妇人一样。嗳！难道我们从上帝手里得福，不也受祸吗？」在这一切的事上约伯并不以口犯罪。”

约伯记 2:10 

“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.”

Job 2:10 

Job surely didn’t delight in hardship or trouble, yet he honored God through heart-wrenching circumstances (Job 1:1–22). When painful sores afflicted Job’s body, he endured the agony (2:7–8). His wife told him to give up on God (v. 9), but Job responded by trusting the Lord through suffering and afflictions (v. 10).

It’s natural to prefer avoiding the bitter bites in life. We can even be tempted to lash out at God when we’re hurting. But the Lord uses trials, teaching us how to trust Him, depend on Him, and surrender to Him as He enables us to persevere through difficult times.

Has God used a trial in your life to refine your character and strengthen your faith?
