If you’re going to get friends, please don’t get friends like that of Job. They are miserable mourners and comforters, terrible companions. All through the trouble of Job they blamed him most of the time. Imagine being at the worst point in your life and having to deal with people who will kick you while you’re down. That’s the kind of friends they were.
A lot of people are worried about what is going to happen when we leave this earth, what is going to happen when we leave this side of eternity?
When the enemy got ready to attack Job, he gained access through his fears. He looked for that one area in his life where he had a manifestation of fear and that one fear was enough to destroy his life.
Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped. And he said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.” In all this Job did…
Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!” But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips….
Imagine the devastation that Job had to go through as he went from the richest in the land to the most despised, the poorest, the ugliest, the most sick, and nothing to write home about.
