We talk so much about the Famous Job in the bible. Yet, little or no mention is made about his wife apart from when she urged him to curse God and die, due to the many calamities that was brought upon them. Although we can not excuse her advice as right, yet she exuded every human attribute we all have: the tendency to get cowered by circumstances and blame it on God.
Nevertheless, I strongly believe that this woman rose above and beyond this moment of pain and blame and pressed on through their trials together. Why do I think so? Because through her God gave Job another set of sons and daughters to replace those lost in the fire. If these children were from a different woman, the bible would have specified. Moreover, it would not have really felt like a blessing in its truest form if he had to re-marry.
What is my point? As much as Job was Patient, His wife was patient as well. She nursed his wounds you can best believe, otherwise He wouldn't have gone back to have sons and daughters through her. Beyond the surface of the book of Job lies a woman, human enough to admit her blame of God, but strong enough to stand firm by her husband through all that was thrown at him. She was able to live beyond her circumstances, and in the end partook of the double honour that God redeemed Job with.
You can stand firm and pull through whatever life has thrown your way. I believe it is okay to have some moments of doubt or fear, being human, but I challenge you not to remain there. Stand firm, stay strong and know that through it all, Everything is working out for your good.
God bless you
