A Painful Start


Scripture ~ My sighing comes before I eat, and my groanings pour out like water. Job 3:24

Observation ~ Even before breakfast Job's heart ached. He started the day in pain. His pain and tears overflowed. We see his conviction early in the story to worship God, but he does not deny his pain. 

Application ~ There are those around me who wake up with pain. It doesn't go away ~ they go to bed with it, and they wake with it, and some even dream with it. There eyes open and they hurt. The people close to Job heard his pain. May I be close enough to people to hear their sorrow, and may I be a help.

Prayer ~ Father, please help me to minister to those who hurt, to be someone who helps.
