Lesson From Job

Lesson that I learnt from the story of Job

His "good" friends decided in unison to come together and console him. They weeped for him and they go on to talk to him, console him, offer suggestions, suggest what he should do, blah blah blah.....

So often I do that. People come to me and I say what I feel or think about the situation and I give my comments.

What draws my attention is not what Job was blessed with after. (Of course the story showed how much more Job was blessed for keeping his faith.) What draws my attention was how his friends were condemned!!! After talking for more than 30 chapters in the book and they are condemned at the end.

The lesson: If you do not have godly counsel, SHUT UP.
