Saying NOTHING At All

JOB 2

Inspired thots

Sufferings can be quite painful and discouraging that it is better to keep Quiet than try to Console the sufferer. The more one says, the more bad feelings and thoughts are riled up; the easier to fall into temptation and sin.

Job's friends started off well by being there with him for days without a word as they empathize with him through his ordeal. I wonder if Job wondered whether he might die or what is God's purpose in it all? Was he prepared to meet his Maker? I believe Job was ready; he did all he could to ease his sufferings. It is better to be alone in suffering so that one can stay focused before God. This is not a case for 'the more the merrier'.
