Job's Experience No Excuse For Christians To Live In Defeat

Do not give your own theories in seeking to help others. Give the Bible and seek to be led of the Holy Spirit in all such cases (Job. 42:7-9; 2 Tim. 3:15-17; 4:1-5).
Let God deal with people who sin instead of constantly nagging at them, as Job's friends did in his trial (Job. 42:7-9; Gal. 6:7, 8).
Seek God when in trouble and do not blame Him or criticize Him as the source of the trouble (Job. 13:15; Jas. 5:10, 11).
God's grace sustains us in the greatest calamities (Job. 19:25, 26; 42:1-17; 2 Cor. 12:1-12; Heb. 11; Jas. 5:10, 11).
Many councellors are not always right (Job. 42:1-9).
All the suffering that could be heaped upon a man who is down is not enough to satisfy self-righteous hypocrites or make them sympathetic to the suffering one (Job. 42:7-9; Acts 7:54-60).
God takes account of all criticism against His people (Job. 42:7-9; Mat. 12:37).
Troubles are no proof of a man's wickedness (Job. 1:1-22; 2:1-12; 42:1-6).
God is very compassionate and of tender mercy toward those who are in need (Jas. 5:10, 11; Ps. 103:1-19; Rom. 8:32).
