Our Daily Devotional [07/06/2018]

To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend, Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

 Text: Job 6:14.

When we’ve had a loss or disappointment, the natural reaction is to withdraw from others. But God doesn’t want you to try handling pain or loss or stress by yourself. The Bible says, “When desperate people give up on God Almighty, their friends, at least, should stick with them. Job 6:14. God commands us to bear each other’s burdens! We’re told to “encourage one another and build each other up” 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Every one of us will experience difficulties and pain. It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor, old or young. Every one of us will face troubles and pain. This is why close relationships or small groups are so important. The Bible says, “By helping each other in your troubles, you truly obey the law of Christ” Galatians 6:2. Job says, “Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty” (Job 6:14) declares; We all need loyal friends whether we’ve forsaken God or not.”
Every person needs Christian friends who will stand alongside you even when you say, “I don’t think I believe in God right now” and who will nurse you back to faith.
