Day 10

Yesterday I read Job 4 and it was Eliphaz the Temanite's reply to Job's cry in Job 3.
He's such an encouraging friend! Look at all the things he says to Job here:

v3: Think how you have instructed many, how you have strengthened feeble hands.
v4: Your words have supported those who stumbled; you have strengthened faltering knees.
v5: But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged; it strikes you, and you are dismayed.
v6: Should not your piety be your confidence and your blameless ways your hope?

he is so supportive... and sadly to say, he's more supportive than Job's wife here. He reminds Job of how much he has done for God, and don't be dismayed or discouraged.

I can't imagine how JOb was like to have his friend say something like that to him. I would be greatly honored.

Trisha reminded me that I shouldn't keep on thinking how Justin would change this or that, but how I can change. I don't even need to think I'm changing for him, but just how I could be better. Once I do that, I believe that everything will fall into place.

Job 5 Eliphaz goes on to remind Job God's wonder and his majesty, and ended with this:

27 We have examined this, and it is true. So hear it and apply it to yourself.


wow! That's really true.

Alot of the times I would know that God is good, and He is just. But do I really have that instilled in my mind... because or else, why do I seem to forget it and complain and complain and whine......

Recently many things have been happening. And God has been faithful. But have I been faithful to God?
God has blessed me with good friends who are there for me, but I need to keep them in the loop too sometimes =P Coz sometimes the conversation with Trisha goes like this "wait, did I tell you this and that and this?" and I always get reminded of how nice it is to talk to girl friends. Because if I don't tell them what's going on... how could they pray for me or be there for me. =P
