Grace for your spirit May 15, 2014

Grace for your spirit
It came about after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has.  Job 42:7

Perhaps the three friends of Job thought they were on a mission from God.  Their mission to straighten out Job did more harm than good.  At the end of the story, God rebuked them, told them to repent, sacrifice, and have Job pray for them.  When we put ourselves in a mission to straighten out someone else, we need to start with ourselves.  As we represent God, are our words right?  Let's be very careful that we are judging rightly, and not using our own scripture to make a point. Without care, we can do more harm than good.
