George's comment on 2013-11-15 11:53:25:

The tendency of our Christian friends at times is to judge us about why we are going through what we are going through. Yes, at times it could be for sinful reasons for chastisement. But sometimes it is only being used to grow us spiritually or as in this case to prove to satan that Job did fear and love God for no other reason then that . And not for any alterior motives or for what God had blessed him with but for the love of God himself. Who Job knew to be his redeemer and that he would stand at the later day upon the earth. And these friends were in some ways used by the devil which is why we should always guard our tongues when someone is going through something hard in their lives and seek to encourage and help them instead of have unrighteous judgments on them since the ultimate judge will determine our motives one day at the Judgment seat of Christ which is the judgment for believers and their works after they were saved. But the lost sinner will be judged for all of the sins he has done and why he didn't repent of his sins against God and trust his Son, the Lord Jesus as his personal Saviour when he had opportunity to do so. We do not have full knowledge of everything as God does and in this account with Job and his friends although they said some notable things yet they judged Job harshly as well as out of line with the way Job really lived. And very few Christians today I believe come up to the things Job did for other people and the things he didn't do. Although God reproved Job for judging him also. Wilt thou condemn me that thou mayest be righteous. So we shouldn't condemn God's dealings in our lives or think we are more righteous then God nor should we judge peoples hardships in life as being because they are a hypocrite or were living wicked or some other assumption on them. But we should instead judge righteous judgment according to the facts about someone. So let us comfort those in need and encourage them since we to may need it someday in our own lives. And also as these friends be ashamed when God reproves us and demands a sacrifice from us and commends the one who we judged unfairly without factual evidence fro doing so. Sincerely ;
