My Old Friend, Job – blog 12/6/24
Job’s response to his friend’s errant assessment reminds me of the adage, “Don’t judge someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.” Good friends always give each other the benefit of the doubt. The question is, how often are we “good friends”? Be honest. Do we not all have a propensity for judging others while “walking in our own shoes”? You bet. It’s less challenging from within our personal bubble to pass quick judgements on others, so that’s what we do. In those moments, how are we any different than Job’s friends???

Faith is a very personal journey. We must respect that in others and give them the space they deserve to work out their own salvation (ala Philippians 2:12).
Good perspective may cause us pain, but since it is righteous, it is good.
