In this chapter, Job asks his wife if we should accept good from God and not evil? Now understand the evil Job is talking about is bad things happening, not evil as in evil or demonic powers. The question is good because let's consider this is a husband or wife only supposed to stay with a spouse if everything is going good and they are perfectly behaved? No! Someone who jumps ship the first time something doesn't go their way isn't committed at all, they are there for selfish reasons. Job isn't forsaking God because things aren't going good right now. He is staying faithful to the God he trusts, the God he loves. Job doesn't understand and he's not happy about what is happening but he's staying committed. Anything less is selfishness and that's what Satan was saying (and others do in some of our lives) that Job was like. He wasn't and neither should we.
