Unknown Wives

uh you turn your Bibles to Proverbs chapter 18 we're going to continue and we're come down towards the end of this series we've had a series on Hebrews chapter 11 talking about uh the great men and women of the faith and we titled that series broken because every one of them were broken people that God healed and God used and at the end of that chapter we went through and looked at each one of those people that he talked about and at the end chapter there's a there's a verse where it talks about and the others and there's so many other people in the Bible that were used by God and God worked in their lives and and many of them were unknown people people even that we don't even know their

names and yet uh they were used of God and sometimes we think well I'm nobody knows me I I'm no big deal and we need to realize that God knows each one of our names and God wants to use us even if we're unknown to everybody else we're known to God and so I want to look at another one of the unknowns in the Bible today and Proverbs chapter 18 and verse number 22 the Bible says who so findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth favor of the Lord you know when you go in the Bible and look at the different characters in The Bible many of them you know who their wise for example uh we know that Adam's wife was named Eve we know that Abraham's wife was named Sarah we know that Isaac his wife

was Rebecca and Jacob had of course Rachel uh and and we even know the wives of more than one of David's wives we even know their name as well but there's one w a couple of wives that we don't actually know their name uh for example uh what was Noah's wife's name we don't knowah come on that was good all right but uh I want to talk today first of all about Noah's wife all we know her as is as Noah's wife in Genesis chapter 6 turn over there with me if you would Genesis chapter 6 and verses 8 and N what's interesting is we don't even hear about Noah's wife until about 10 verses after we hear about the rest of her family in joah no in Genesis 6 and: 8-9 it says but Noah found Grace in the eyes

of the Lord these are the generations of Noah Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations and Noah walked with God and Noah begat Three Sons Shem ham and J japeth no mention of his wife here until down in verse number 18 go to verse number 18 and it tells us in verse 18 but with thee will I establish my Covenant and thou shall come into the ark thou and thy sons and thy wife and thy son's wives with thee and and so here we have there that she's not even mentioned until 10 verses after Noah and the three sons and and some of you may look at that say yeah women never get mentioned you know they're not important in the Bible they are important in the Bible and I I think there's many

important things we can learn from the life of Noah as well of Noah's wife as well now first of all I want to go back to verse number six verse number eight chapter six and it says but Noah found Grace in the eyes of the Lord if we remember back towards the beginning of the series we talked about Noah in our broken series and we looked at his life and one of the things we've talked about is the fact that he found Grace he found Grace in the eyes of the Lord and I wonder today have you found Grace and and how do you find Grace have you found Grace and how do you find Grace in Ephesians 28:9 it says for by grace are you saved through faith that not of yourselves it's the gift of God not of

Works L any man should boast and and so we cannot find Grace through our works we need to find Grace when you find something it it's like you you didn't work for it you just all of a sudden hey there it is a and so you can find Grace a number of different ways uh one way you can find Grace is you can find Grace maybe somebody drops some money in the floor and uh and you find it there uh we got a little competition there JJ got it and uh afterwards there he gave and he gave it to he gave it to him so that was good too as well but sometimes you ever you ever found money you ever look down on the ground hey there's a $20 bill a't that exciting when you find something like that you ever found

something you thought was lost and there it is and it's great to find it sometimes by accident in Proverbs chapter 3 and verse number six it says in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He Shall direct thy paths you know there are no accidents with the Lord and and sometimes it seems like we find Grace by accident but it's not an accident for example we had a couple in the church years ago that uh we had gone out my wife and I and our family had gone out put tracks and cars uh around Christmas time and uh this was back when we first started the church and we were the only ones that were doing that at that time and and uh we put them in the windshield wipers we don't do that anymore now we put

them in the side door because I don't you know gets lost in there and this is what happened is that that track uh uh in February there's a couple that came to church and we asked them well how' you hear about the church and they said well it's the strangest thing we were washing our car and we pulled up the windshield wipers and there was this track from your church that was shoved down inside the windshield wiper and it was all faded and all worn out and weather beaten but we could read the name and we decided let's go to that church and as best as we could tell we were the ones that put that track in their car back at Christmas time and and that and but they did not find it until February

and as we got to know this couple they later on got saved and as we got to know them they said you know Pastor if we had found that track at Christmas we would have thrown the trash we were not ready to go to church but when we found it in February we were at a point in our life that we were ready and needed to be in church and to find the Lord now you may say well they found it by accident but they found Grace because God directed them here uh we had another one another family years ago when we were meeting down by Wendy's in Cycle City down there and uh we had one of the guys that would stand out and direct traffic from the driveway uh his name was Wayne and he was just an enthusiastic

kind of guy and he was out there directing people in waving them in showing where to park and stuff and this car comes down the road and he waves them in so they pulled in and he directed them where to park and where to go into the church and everything they end up coming to church they end up getting saved and found out later they weren't coming to Ohana they were looking for another church and they were lost and when they saw Wayne out there waving people in they said well let's just go there and that's where they came and they ended up finding the grace of God they end up getting saved and and there's a another one that was looking for a different church and they found our church you know

there's a number of different ways like that and and maybe you can find Grace accidentally but you know the truth is there's no accidents with God he is directing your path he is guiding you to find the grace of God now sometimes you can find Grace because you're looking for it right now all of you upstairs and downstairs if you'll look right in the middle underneath your seat reach out there one of those seats has a $20 bill tape to it so everybody look cuz one of you's got a $20 bill there but you got to reach down and kind of feel around the middle of your seat if you find it raise your hand say I got it I got it I found it here anybody find it yet all right some of you looking under all

the other empty seats there as well anybody find it nobody found it upstairs okay right here in this first row in the back section there one of you's got it under your seat look again all right under your seat feel right under there right about the middle there all right all right right towards this side not dendo there we go all right got it and I hope they found it downstairs too if not I'll get it later and put it back in my pocket but uh sometimes you find things by looking for them hey where is this I'm going to go look for it and and you find it by looking for it Matthew 13: 45 and 46 again the Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a merchant man seeking goodly pearls who when he had found

one pearl of great price went and sold all that he had and bought it in Jeremiah 29:13 the Bible says and you shall seek me and find me when you shall search me with all your heart and maybe you're here today and you're seeking to find peace with God and you're seeking to find to eternal life and the know that you're going to heaven you're seeking to find the answers to life and the Bible says if you seek you can find and you'll find the answers in the word of God faith come by hear and hearing by the word of God now there's other times the way to find it is by the somebody saying well here it is I've got another $20 bill right here in my wallet and would anybody like to have a $20 bill

anybody want to have it raise your hand and I'll I'll decide who's going to be the one I'm going to show Grace to today uh let's see boy I got all kinds of volunteers I'm going to give it to Tyler Tyler came here who's here is a a teenager with his family and he's back here in the Marine Corps so I'm going to give it to him there good to have you back Tyler as well and sometimes you find it because you know what here it is you know what God says in Luke Chapter 19 Verse number 10 for the son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost see God says listen you want to find that which is lost I'm here to give it to you I'm here to give you salvation I'm here to give you eternal life

you see I don't have enough $20 bills to give everybody here and they did the same thing downstairs I'm I'm out what $120 now uh I can't afford more than that but you know what Jesus Christ can give you what you need if you'll just seek it he says here it is come and get it and he wants to give you Grace he wants to give you salvation you can find that Grace in Jesus Christ now you say well what is Grace in Ephesian in Hebrews 4:16 it says let us there therefore come boldly onto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find Grace to help in time of need now mercy and grace are twins they're sisters but they're different and that is that Mercy is not getting what you deserve you know

what I deserve to go to hell I don't deserve to go to heaven but God in his Mercy offers us salvation in Romans chap 6 and: 23 it says for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ the lord we deserve to die and to go to hell but God in his Mercy says I want to give you what you don't deserve I I want to give you Heaven I want to give you eternal life now Grace is getting Mercy is not getting what you deserve Grace is getting what you don't deserve in Ephesians chapter 1 verse 7 it says in whom we have Redemption through his blood the Forgiveness of sins according to the riches of of his grace somebody wants to find Grace as God's riches at Christ's

expense see grace is that God sent his only begotten son to die on the cross to be buried and raised again so that he could pay for your sins so that he could give you eternal life for God so loved the world that he gave that's Grace and you could have the grace of God whether you're here by accident whether you're here on purpose whether you're looking for it or not you can find it today in Jesus Christ you can find Salvation not in religion for not of works not in your good works not in your own righteousness or rituals like baptism or catechism or church membership but in a relationship with Jesus Christ you can find the grace of God but you have to call upon him in Romans chapter 10: 9

and 10 it says that if thou shallal confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and Shall Believe in thine heart that God has raised from the dead Thou shalt be saved for with the heart man believeth on the righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation Romans 1013 for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved you see Tyler along with a number of other people said I want that $20 bill if he had to raise his hand he would not have it today he had to receive it he had to accept it as a gift for me he doesn't have to wash my car to earn that although you can if you want to he doesn't have to come mow my lawn he doesn't have to do anything all he had do was be

here and accept that $20 bill and all you have to do is accept and receive the grace of God you can find it today and Noah found Grace in the sight of the Lord but you know although we don't know a lot about Noah's wife there's one thing I I do know about her not because the Bible says it but because of what she did and that she not only had the grace of God but she was also gracious she was gracious in Proverbs 11:16 it says a gracious woman retaineth honor and strong men retain riches Noah's wife was a gracious woman I want you to put a marker in Genesis 6 we're going to come back there but go over to Proverbs chapter 31 Proverbs chapter 31 now many of you ladies know that Proverbs chap 31

that's the the one about the The Virtuous Woman the perfect wife the perfect mother mother the perfect woman and sometimes it can be intimidating to read Proverbs chap 31 but there's so much there that you can learn and you can apply in your life and and and and it says in Proverbs 31 verse number 10 who can find a virtuous woman for her price is far above rubies I know that Noah's wife even though the Bible didn't directly tell me I know that she was a gracious woman I know that she was a virtuous woman you say well what does the word virtuous mean the word virt literally means a woman of Valor this same word would be used to describe a soldier in battle it would used to be described a

great Army that was going to Victory and saying that she is a virtuous a woman of Valor the root of the word virtuous is the word pain the word virtuous comes from the word pain this is someone that despite their pain will continue to do what's right this is someone despite their pain will continue to do what right you say well how do you know that Noah's wife was a virtuous woman in Genesis chapter 6 go back there again now Genesis chapter 6 I want you to look at verse number 14 now when you read the Bible about people the Bible imagine what they were like as real people imagine if you were in their situation so ladies imagine this in Genesis 64 it says that God told Noah make thee an ark

of gopherwood room shall thou make in the the ark and she'll pitch it within and with it without with pitch okay ladies imagine with me your husband husband comes home and says hey honey I I want to start a project now I don't know if your husbands are like I am with my wife every time I tell her I want to start a project she's like uhoh no honey you don't understand it'll it'll be quick three months later 6 months later still going on you ever had that happen to you and here Noah's wife Noah comes home and says honey I want to start a little project we're going to build an ark and and and so she's got this she's got this project and then and then he comes look at verses 19 and 20 not only

we're going to build an ark and of every living thing of All Flesh two of every sort sh thou bring into the ark to keep them alive with thee they shall be male and female of fowls after their kind and of cattle after their kind of creeping things of the earth after his kind two of every uh sort that shall come unto thee to keep them alive okay now she come he says not only we going to do this project but honey we're going to collect two of every animal and a few extras of some animals for food and sacrifice have you ever had one of your family members come home ladies and say can we get a dog if we get a dog I'll take care of it I'll feed it I'll take it for walks and who ends up doing all

that Mom so now her husband said we're going to do this little project and I'm going to tear apart our whole house and our whole yard doing this project for a long time and we're going to get two of every animals we'll take care of them honey don't worry about it yeah right and then the third thing is is look at verse number 21 and take thou unto thee all the food that is eaten and thou sht gather to thee and it should be for the food for thee and for them let me ask you a question who does all the shopping in most homes honey we're going to start this project don't worry I'll take care of it we're going to get two of every animal you don't have to worry about them and we got to buy food for

everybody you won't have to do anything mom right this was a virtuous woman see how long did it take Noah to build the ark does anybody know we don't know for sure but anywhere from a minimum of 55 years up to a maximum of 120 years now I rebuilt our shower and that took me four or five months 55 to 120 years and then so let's average that out to about 88 years right there in the middle and then they were 371 days on a crowded smelly rocking Ark Noah's wife was a virtuous woman she had to put up a lot Colossians 3:12 and13 says put on therefore as the elect of God holy and beloved bowels of mercies kindness humbleness of Mind meekness longsuffering forbearing one another forgiving one

another If any man have a quarrel against any even as Christ forgave you so also do ye you know who the virtuous woman in Ohana Baptist Church ladies are right down there in the nursery today taking care of your kids changing dirty diapers and rocking crying kids and being patient you know The Virtuous are in this church the ones that are down the two and three and four year old four and 5year old class you see sometimes we don't get recognized for being what we are but Noah's wife she was gracious she was a virtuous woman look at Proverbs chapter 31 again Proverbs chapter 31 the thing is we don't even know her name you know she was just a wife she was just a mother but she was a lot more

than that in Proverbs 11 verse number 31:1 it says the heart of her husband does safely trust in her so that he shall have no need of spoil she should do him good and not evil all the days of her life she seeketh wool and flax and worketh willingly with her hands she is like the merchants ships that bringing forth their food from afar she Rises up while is yet night and giveth meat to her household and a portion to her maidens she consider the field and buth it with the fruit of her hands she planteth a Vineyard she girth her loins with strength and strengthe her arms she perceiveth that her merchandise is good her candle goeth not out by night it goes on from there you ever heard somebody

say well she's just a mother or I'm just a mother I'm just a wife being a wife or a mother is a very important job it's a critical job and we need good wives and good Mothers in our world today but the truth is you're more than a wife and her mother there's more to you than just that and no his wife she had to not only take care of her family but she had take care of the the project she had to clean up all the messes she had to take care of the animals she had to feed the animals there's so much more and there's so much more to you and I in verse number 23 it says her husband has known the gates when he sth among the Elders of land we don't even know her name but we know Noah but Noah would

not been Noah without her look at Proverbs chap 12 hold your finger in Proverbs 31 but look at Proverbs chap 12 and look at verse number 24 the hand of the diligent shall bear rule but the slothful shall be under tribute she was a diligent woman she she was the kind of woman you ever heard somebody say something like this that guy he married above his pay grade how how many of you guys married above your pay grade hint put your hand up you know the I would not be what I am without my wife you know or maybe You' looked at somebody H how did she get him to marry her you know sometimes we didn't realize what what a blessing a spouse can be and how important they are behind every good man is a a

good woman but and and and that's important and not only behind every good man is a good woman but behind every good woman is a good man as well we don't know her name but we know her character in Proverbs chapter 31 veres 28-31 it says her children rise up and call her blessed her husband also he Praises her many daughters have done virtuously but thou excellest them all excels them all favor is deceitful and beauty is vain but a woman that fearth the Lord she shall be praised give her the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates fellas don't let your wife go on praised young people don't let your mom go on praised you ought to appreciate them because they're

important can I also say this the chap Proverbs chapter 31 scares a lot of women because they feel like I can never live up to that but there's some great truth in there that could help you to be the woman of God that God wants you to be where we're going to order a little booklet called secrets of the Proverbs 31 Woman it's a devotional booklet going through Proverbs chapter 31 it cost about $6 if you want to order a copy of that on your way out stop by the Welcome Center desk and give you your name and we'll order it along with the others for you as well but don't be afraid to be the Proverbs 31 Woman Noah we don't even know her name but we know that she was a gracious and virtuous woman

now men don't be that guy don't be the Noah that comes home and says hey honey got this project we're going to do and leaves it all on her shoulders don't be the Noah comes home and says we got to get all these animals and leaves it all with her in 1 Peter chapter 3:7 it says likewise you husbands dwell with them according to knowledge giving honor unto the wife and is unto the weaker vessel as being heirs together the grace of life that your prayers be not hindered treat your wife with respect Noah as best as we can tell didn't just shove all this on his wife but his wife was there to support him and so be the leader that is not just telling your wife what to do and treating her like she

doesn't matter she's got a name and she deserves your praise and appreciation and you need to realize how big a help she is to making you who you are today see we need to show Grace the other thing we about know about Noah's wife is she had to show Grace to her husband because in Genesis chapter n Noah got drunk and laid naked before his children in Ephesians chapter 4 turn over there with me if you would Ephesians chapter 4 I was teaching the uh couple's Sunday school class this morning and I talked to him about the that the need for husbands to love their wives unconditionally agape love and talked about the need for the wife to respect her to reverence her husband the problem is we men

don't always deserve respect I know I've not always been respectable as a husband I've done some stupid stuff Bible talks about giving double honor to those who deserve double honor and the idea of that word is when I was in the military when I would salute an off officer sometimes I would look at their shoulder and sometimes I would look at them in the eyes when they were an officer but not necessarily a gentlemen not a good person I'd salute their shoulder I respected their position but when they were a good man or a good woman then I'd look him in the eye when I slute him because I gave him double honor I respected the position and I respected the person and we need to remember we need to

always respect the position the Bible says that you are to reverence your husband and respect that position but we also need to remember that we as husbands need to be respectable in Ephesians chapter 5 chapter 4 and verse number 30 Ephesians chapter 4 and verse number 30 the Bible says and grieve not the holy spirit of God whereby we are sealed on the day of redemption let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and evil speaking be put away from you with all malice be kind one to another tenderhearted forgiving one another even as God for Christ sake could forgiven you be therefore followers of God as dear children Noah's wife had to show the grace of God to her husband she had to

restrict his position Ephesians chapter 5 and verse number 22 it says wife submit yourselves on your husbands is unto the Lord in verse number 33 it says nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as him as himself and the wife see that she reverence her husband we need to have that respect and that honor in 1 Peter 3: 5 and 6 for after this manner in the old time the holy women also who trusted in God adoring themselves being a subjection under their own husbands even as Sarah obeyed Abraham calling him Lord whose daughters you are as long as you do well and are not afraid with any amazement it's interesting that God would use Sarah as an example of respecting

your husband because Sarah's husband Abraham at one point told her his wife tell everybody that you're my sister because you're you're so beautiful I I I think they're going to take you away from me kill me so they can take you as their wife and he allowed another man to take her to his bedroom and if God had not intervened he would have taken her to his bed Abraham was a jerk he did not deserve respect but Sarah called him Lord she still respected his position even though he wasn't always respectable in his person and the same is true of Noah Noah was a great man of God but Noah got drunk and lay naked before his children I'm sure that was hard on his wife and I'm sure that she struggled

with that and I know you ladies in this room will struggle sometimes with your husband but remember to respect the position and not to forget the person in Proverbs chapter 31 go back there for one more time if you would Proverbs chapter 31 I want you to look at verses 11 and 12 says the heart of her husband to safely trust in her so that she'll live that he have no need of spoil she will do him good and not evil all the days of her life I'm thankful for a wife that will do me good even when I don't deserve it that respects me even when I'm not respectable in Genesis chapter 6 it says in verse 910 these are the generations of Noah Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations and Noah

walked with God and Noah begat Three Sons Shem H ham and japeth you see when Noah was drunk and laid naked in his bed his wife had to stop remember but you know what Noah is a good man and he's been a good husband he's been a good father and yes he messed up here but don't forget all the good things my wife years ago made this list of all the good things about me and she put it up on the mirror now to begin with it pretty short but she kept adding to that list different things that were good about me and I asked her well why' you put that list up there she said so when you do something bad I can remember you're still a good husband you're still a good man you're still a good father you see

you want to respect the person and not forget the good about them even when they mess up and when they do mess up respect the position and that's what Noah's wife did but not only do we not know Noah's wife name we don't know lot's wife's name look at Luke chapter 17 I can read it to you Luke 17:32 and 33 remember Lot's wife who whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it so God said remember lot's name the problem is we don't know her name so how are we supposed to remember her name if we don't know her name the Bible never tells us lot's wife's name we're not going to remember her name but we can remember what she did she was

discontent turn to Genesis chap 13 and look at verse number 7 Genesis chap 13 and verse number 7 Genesis 13:7 it says and there was Strife between the herdsman of Abraham's cattle and the Herdman of Lot's cattle and the Canaanite the presite dwell them there in the Land There was this there was a Strife between these two families and it doesn't just start with the lowest it starts all the way up and I'm sure her wife was discontent in 1 Timothy 66 and8 it says but godliness with contentment is great gain for we brought nothing into this world and is certain that we can carry nothing out and having food and rment let be there with content See lost wife was not content with what she had they

had they had lot they were their family was doing well but they weren't content and then there was Strife going on there was there was problems between the two different families going on and and that always starts at the top and Proverbs 21:19 it says better to dwell in the wilderness with a contentious and angry woman and I get the picture that Lot's wife was contentious and angry and not satisfied nothing made her happy she wanted more of this and more of that and was always always just dissatisfied and then she and lot stepped away from the Lord in Genesis chapter 19 and verse number one Genesis chapter 19 verse1 there came two uh angels to Sodom and and at even and lot sat in the gate

of of Sodom and lot seeing them rose up to meet them and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground they end up right there in the middle of Sodom and gomorra in the middle of all that wickedness and how did that happen in 1 John chap 2: 15-1 17 it says love not the world neither things that are in the world if any man love the world the love of the father is not in him for all that is in the world the lust of the Flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the father but of the world and the world passes away in the lust thereof but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever and what Happ happen to lot and his wife was that the Bible tells that they lifted up

their eyes and they saw that the plane was green and it was beautiful and they looked at and said that's what we want and they looked at the world instead of keeping their eyes on the Lord and then the next thing that happened is they they pitched their tent towards Sodom they well first of all they separated from their family they they separated from Abraham in Hebrews chapter 10 veres 23- 2 it says let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering for his faith who promised and let us consider one another provoke and love and good works not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as the manner of some is but exhorting one another and so much the more more you see they

approaching and what happens you see Christians that they they begin missing church and they're not out as often and they start separating themselves from The Godly influences in their life and from their their spiritual family and that's when you start heading downhill and so they lift up their eyes they looked they saw that the plane was well watered and they thought man that looks better and and well the grass always looks greener on the other side and and then they begin to drift towards that direction and get away from church and get away from family and the good influences in their life and then the Bible tells us they pitch pitch their tent towards Sodom in Joshua 24:15 it says it

seem evil unto you to serve the Lord choose you this day whom you will serve whether the gods which your father served which were on the other side of the flood or the gods of the amorites whose lands you dwell but it's for me and my house we will serve the Lord you got to make a decision for you and your family are you going to serve God and lot and his wife did not make that decision and they end up in Sodom and gomorra end up sitting in the very Gates of the city they end up very involved in all the worldly things that were going on around them and and then when God brought judgment and tried to bring him out of the out of the land and out of the country what happened is that that that

lost wife as they were being dragged out of the city by the angel she looks back at what she had and she didn't want to leave it and she turned into a pillar of salt and and this is what we need to remember take an example from Lot's wife don't be like her be like Noah's wife then I want to close with one other wife real quick and that's Job chapter 2 if you turn over there The Book of Job chapter 2 we don't know job's wife's name but this is what we do know in job 2: 9- 10 it says then said his wife unto him does thou still retain thine Integrity curse God and die but he said unto her thou speakest as one of the foolish woman speaketh what shall you receive of the hand of God good at the

hand of God shall we not receive evil in all this did not job sin with his lips job's wife was bitter bitter for all she had lost and bitterness will destroy every relationship you have it'll destroy your marriage destroy your friendships destroy your family in Hebrews 12:15 it says looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God lest any root of bitterness springing up trou springing up trouble you and thereby many be defiled you're either going to get bitter or you're going to get better it's your choice and job's wife was bitter whatever your situation keep your focus on the Lord in James 5: 101 it says take my brother and the prophets who have spoken in the name of the Lord for

an example of suffering Affliction and of patience behold we count them happy which endure you have heard of the patience of Job and have seen the end of the Lord that the Lord is very pitiful and of tender of Mercy I mentioned this last week I think there's three rules you need to remember rule number one God is God rule number two God is good and rule number three when things are not going good remember rule number one and rule number two things were not going good good in job's life but job remembered God is still God and God is still good job's wife forgot that what about you
