But Job replied, "You talk like a foolish woman. Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?" So in all this, Job said nothing wrong. (Job 2:10 NLT)
Have you ever been in adversity, sometimes even to the point of death? Job said that since we receive good from God, we should also accept the bad. Just grit your teeth and bear it.
But what about the other side of the story? What is God receiving from us for all His benefits He has given to us? He does not get recognition. Unbelievers attributed all His benefits to amoral nature. Many of those who believe in Him does not have enough faith in His goodness and faithfulness and always resort to trusting themselves.
He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. (Matthew 5:45b BSB)
What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits to me? (Psalm 116:12 ESV)
