"Curse God and Die" Job 2

"Curse God and Die" Job 2

Satan was not satisfied with Job losing all of his material goods now he seeks his health.  God permits him to afflict Job but not to take his life.  With his body covered in sores, Job sits in the ashes seeking some comfort and his wife tells him to just curse God and die.  Job held onto his integrity and did not sin against God with his lips.  In his mourning 3 friends come together and sit with him 7 days and 7 nights not saying a word.  It is foolish for us to try and understand the reason God permits suffering in the believers life.  We are the best of friends when we sit with the suffering and keep quiet.
