Daily Devotion - Job 16:1-7

Job 16:1-7
1 Then Job answered and said,

2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters [are] ye all.

3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?

4 I also could speak as ye [do]: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.

5 [But] I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage [your grief].

6 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and [though] I forbear, what am I eased?

7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.

We are to be bearing one another's burdens. Are your words comforting and uplifting or are they like Job's friends and just hurt more. Let's be uplifting and helpful to someone today.
