Good Advice when Dealing with Trials…

An issue in reading Job in the Bible is the accuracy and appropriate application of the “advice” given by Job’s “friends” (check ‘em out in Job 2:11-13… They started out right to “comfort” him, but later their advice was often condescending and misapplied).

Eliphaz, however early on, I believe made an accurate observation and gave some good advice that I am convinced is appropriate for any of us when we’re going through great trials and tests: 

He said, “We are born to trouble as the sparks fly upward!  AS FOR ME, I WOULD SEEK GOD, AND TO GOD I WOULD COMMIT MY CAUSE – He who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number!” (Job 5:7-9)

Good advice I believe!
