Job 42:10-17
Job was blameless and upright, he feared God and shunned evil.
- People who comfort us: Having known about the ill fate that fell upon Job, his three friends Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Namathite, set out from their homes to comfort him and sympathize with him. These three men, sat with him without uttering a word for 7 days and 7 nights
- Words that hurt (Job 2:11-13) : When job was attacked by satan, when he had sores all over his body, his wife said, just curse God and die. Even with hurtful words from his wife, Job’s reply was, “shall we accept good from God and not trouble? 3.Praying for others even when suffering
Job prayed for his friends even when he himself hit rock bottom. After that, God blessed Job with twice what he had before.
