OUR DAILY BREAD
When Job experienced the devastating loss of his children and became afflicted with painful sores on his entire body, his suffering was overwhelming. The Bible tells us that three of his friends wanted to comfort him. When they found Job, “they began to weep aloud, and they tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads. Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him, because they saw how great his suffering was” (Job 2:12–13).
Job’s friends initially showed remarkable understanding. They sensed that Job simply needed someone to sit and mourn with him. The three men will begin to speak in the next few chapters. The irony is that when the friends do begin to speak, they end up giving Job poor advice (16:1–4).
As a friend, I admit that not everytime you are available to comfort you're friends in times of their downs. But you can comfort them by sending them words of God. We may not be resent on their side, but God presence are there to comfort our friends.
I assure you that God is always there to be with us. Aside from being a Father, He is our great great friend in times of happiness and sadness. We may feel that sometimes we are down, always remember to call unto Him, He will not abandon you. He will hug you with His presence.
Keep the Faith my dear friend. 😇🙏
*PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, help me to be a good friend to those who are hurting. Thank You that You promise to be near to those who are suffering and provide encouragement through Your Holy Spirit.*
*THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY! *
Have a great and blessed day ahead!
But you can comfort them by sending them words of God.
