Numbers 29:1-40; Proverbs 25:1-26:12; Luke 2:22-52
To him that is afflicted pity should be shown from his friend. Job 6:14
Job had every right to expect that his three friends would be pitiful and supportive of him in the adverse circumstances he found himself in. Sadly the opposite was true! In theory they came to comfort him (Job 2:11) but in reality stayed to criticise. There are many believers who are passing through deep trials day-by-day. May the Lord help us to adopt a caring and understanding spirit towards them so that they feel supported. The Lord can minister His strength to them through us. —Philip A. Kaye
May the peace of God my Father,
Rule my life in everything,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing. —Kate B. Wilkinson
