Job 5:8 – 15
8 “But if it were I, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him,
9. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted
10. He bestows rain on the earth; he sends water upon the countryside.
11. The lowly he sets on high, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12. He thwarts the plans of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success.
13. He catches the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are swept away.
14. Darkness comes upon them in the daytime; at noon they grope as in the night.
15. He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth; he saves them from the clutches of the powerful…”

For Thought
Sometimes the greatest thing you can do for a person who is going through a difficult trial is to sit down with them , saying nothing, but show by your actions that you really care. This is usually far better than a round of speeches.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you: and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God…” (Isa. 43: 2 – 3)
