Reading – Job 5-6

Highlight Verses:

“People are born for trouble as readily as sparks fly up from a fire. “If I were you, I would go to God and present my case to him.”
‭‭Job‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I really want to dislike Eliphaz.

But a lot of the stuff he said was true.

Verse 7 points out the fallen nature of mankind.

Verse 8 points to God as the one to rescue us from our troubles.

So, while Eliphaz may seam judgmental and insensitive at times, it seems that he really wants to help his friend Job with the truth.

The writer of Job wants us to hear that same lesson.

When in trouble, turn to God.

Yes, I know you should turn to God even when you are not in trouble. But let’s keep it simple today.

Are you in the midst of troubles?
Have you brought your case before God in prayer?
How have you seen God answer when you have come to him with your problems?
