"고난의 유익은 그 고난을 통하여 내가 하나님 보시기에 그릇행하였다는 것을 깨닫는 것과 하나님의 법을 배우게 된 것과 이제부터 하나님의 말씀을 지키게 된 것입니다(시 119:67, 71). 이러한 깨달음(나의 죄)과 배움(하나님의 말씀)과 지킴( 말씀 순종)이 없는 고난은 무익합니다." 1. 깨달음: 교만함(시119:69), 그릇 행함(67절), 마음의 살찜과 기름덩이(70절) [마음에 지방을 제거하라!: https://blog.naver.com/kdicaprio74/150112959844] 2. 배움: 자녀들의 위기를 통해 저는 선하신 주님께서(68절) 저를 선대하사(65절) 가르쳐주신(68절) 시편 63편 3절 말씀과 베드로전서 5장 10절 말씀을 배우게 되었습니다(71절).

If our foolish spouse
does not support and help us in faith ...
Covered in painful sores
from the soles of his feet to the top of his head,
Job sat among the ashes,
using a piece of broken pottery to scrape himself.
Seeing him, his wife
said to Job, "Are you still maintaining your integrity?
Curse God and die!"
Job replied to her, "You are talking like a foolish woman.
Shall we accept good
from God, and not trouble?"
Despite all this, Job
did not sin in what he said
(Job 2:7-10).
When I reflect on this
passage,
I think about how Job
maintained his integrity even in extreme suffering.
It shows that he valued
maintaining his integrity more than his own life.
Usually, our instinct is
to value our own life more than maintaining our integrity.
If we experience extreme
suffering, we might succumb to Satan’s temptation,
compromising our
integrity to protect our life, and end up speaking and acting falsely.
Especially if our
foolish spouse does not support and help us in faith,
we are at even greater
risk of falling into Satan’s temptation.
However, a person of
faith who acknowledges God's sovereignty
will accept not only
blessings from God but also calamities with faith.
And even in the face of
such calamities,
that person will not sin
against God with his lips.
