Read Job chapter 4

VERSE:

Job 4:4–Your words have supported those who stumbled; you have strengthened faltering knees.

TRUTH:

Now, Job’s friends have arrived and they have begun to speak to him. While most of what they say is not true and is later shown to be inaccurate, this opening statements by the first friend, Eliphaz, gives us a glimpse further into the life of Job. Job was a person who supported and encouraged those around him. He was there for others and he sought to build them up. If other people were to speak about us, would they say the same? Do we seek to build up and strengthen those who are around us?

RESPONSE:

Father, I desire to see people around me built up and lifted up to You. Help me to constantly see ways to encourage others so that they can be lifted up. I know that You are my God and You are my encouragement, so please use me to encourage others around me.
