JOB 20- Zophar: “The Ungodly Will Perish” - “Choose Friends Wisely”

JOB 20: Zophar: "The Ungodly Will Perish"- "Choose Friends Wisely"

Tonight's takeaway is this we seem to learn a valuable lesson here from Job. The lesson is on how we choose our friends. Job's friends were like brothers to him but instead of receiving love from his fellow brethren, Job receives a handful of criticism and is accused of being a very wicked man in need of repentance. I feel Job's friends came in good intentions but was used by Satan to further afflict more agony unto Job. Imagine the feeling of despair and the rejection Job felt seeing how his three closest friends who were like brothers couldn't even offer Job the love and compassion he needed instead Job received hypocrisy. Job's true tormentor was indeed the evil one, but Job had the faith he needed to prevail, because the Lord had already searched his heart beforehand.

“Zophar speaks with dignity, but dignity is not an indication of discernment. Zophar has listened to Job’s words but not to the spirit of them; he is ashamed of the attitude his former friend has taken.” (Chambers)

Numbers 6:24-26
“The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord [a]lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”’
