Job 2:7-10

Summary: Satan does as promised, putting a disease on Job's skin that gave him boils from head to toe, itchy lesions that needed painfully scraped so as not to get worse. Job's wife tells him to end his suffering by cursing God and dying. Job replies that he should accept all that God gives, whether it seems good to him or not. 

Response: Many, many people have argued over the guilt of Job's wife (she's fine, just doesn't want to see her husband suffer and is mourning the death of all her children at once) and over 'can God do evil' (Satan did it anyway, I hear you cry, but of course Job has no way of knowing that). But through all of this, Job has no "rebel sigh" (at least not yet). Lord, give me your peace, grace, and strength to smile through the day so that Your love is known to others.
