So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
Then said his wife unto him, “Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Curse God, and die.” But he said unto her, “Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
Job 2:7-10

Who is a faithful man? It is a man who, like Job, when he is tried through trouble, not of his own making, is faithful to God and His word, no matter what is thrown at him. This would be so of a woman as well.

Notice Job was a very wealthy man with seven sons and three daughters. He also had many animals for working his fields, crops, and hauling wares or food. Job lost it all in a single day. His children, all ten, were killed by a strong wind. Yet through all of this Job says,

Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. Job 1:21

Then, he is stricken with boils cover the entirety of his body, and is suffering great pain, yet Job is faithful.

In the New Testament Job is named only one time as the picture of patience (James 5:11). Being patient is a great part of faith.  Faith is believing in the unseen, due to the evidence provided us by God. “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen”  (Hebrews 11:1). There is something that some ignorant of what faith is said, “A leap of faith,” and by the authority of the previous verse we can say that “Faith is a step into the Light.” That would be the Light of Jesus Christ.

Even though Job’s wife even seems to lack in faith, he maintains his. He hangs on to faith. Why would a man or woman do that? It could only be because they believe what God says. The world will tell, and culture will tell you that believing in this someone you cannot see, or touch is crazy. They will tell you things such as “Believe in yourself,” but they need to realize that believing in one’s self is what leads to destruction, not to life.

Let all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ hang on to your faith, and the faith will hang on to you.

This faith is only available through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He was sent to earth to die for our sins. Come to Jesus, by calling on His name.
