Continue with reblog of Job from 2010
Job 4:7-8 – “7 “Stop and
think! Do the innocent die?When have the upright been destroyed?
8 My experience shows that those who plant
troubleand cultivate evil will harvest the
same.”
Jobs friend Eliphaz responds to Jobs problems … basically
saying that Job brought these problem on himself because of sin … great help
huh!! As a friend you do need to shoot straight with them and not blow smoke up
their … well sugar coat problems. But Eliphaz could not find fault or
problems he just ASSuMEd Job committed sin … and as we know when you ASSuME
you make an ASS of U and ME!!!
Also, when you friends are down we do not need to judge why
they are down … just help them out. Show Christ in your actions … he helped
the down trodden … he never embraced their sin, he showed them what was
right. If a friend crashes their car while driving drunk … you help them with
their drinking problem and help them with the car.
Jesus did freak out sometimes like in the temple … but the
leaders should have known better!!
Too much talk leads to sin.
Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.
