Reading – Job 11-12

Highlight Verse:

“People who are at ease mock those in trouble. They give a push to people who are stumbling.”
‭‭Job‬ ‭12‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I wonder if Job knew how correct he really was.

And it’s still true today.

If someone is experiencing trouble, people tend to talk behind their backs by people wondering what they did to cause the trouble.

Some will bad mouth them behind their backs.

Some will bad mouth them to their face.

Imagine if Jobs friends came to listen to him and bring him comfort instead of harassing him about what they assumed he did wrong.

Imagine what would happen if, instead of bad mouthing, we came alongside people in their problems, listened to them and helped them out.

Forgive me if I’m wrong but I think that’s one of the most important jobs of the Church.

Have you experienced insults in your tough times?
When those around you are having problems, is your first impulse to support them, ignore them, or insult them?
