A Better Counsel

Job 4
Main Idea: A “correct” speech may not be appropriate in a suffering situation.

1. Sounds correct but not good counsel: “You should be more confident and hopeful in God!” v.6

2. Sounds correct but not good counsel: “You reap what you sow!” v.8

3. Sounds correct but not good counsel: “It’s your own problem, not God.” v.17

Application:

1. Reflect: What ideas/views that you have towards someone who is going through suffering?
2. What would you do differently to someone who is suffering?
3. What can you remember if you’re going through suffering?
