“Since your children sinned against Him, He gave them over to their rebellion.”
Job 8:4 HCSB
Here was Job, having lost everything—his health, his Wife, his children, his home, and on and on. Instead of comforting Job by saying, “Wow, Job. This really stinks, and I’m here for you,” Job’s friend went on to cast blame and judgment, effectively saying, “They got what they deserved.”
Has this ever happened to you? Have you been kicked when you were down? We’ve probably all done some kicking, as well. From this moment on, may not one of us add to another person’s burden in this way. May we instead be the friend who will simply be with and keep their friend’s eyes turned to the cross of Christ. 🚦
