Job and the 3 unwise men. Hebrews 4:16

(Heb 4:16) Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Continuing to study the meaning of Hebrews 4:16 we stepped back to the book of Job.

(Job 2:11) Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came each from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They made an appointment together to come to show him sympathy and comfort him.

Job try's by the efforts of his friends to recieve what we are to recieve from our risen Lord Jesus. Mercy and grace in our times of need.

As hard as Job's friends try they fall woefully short of bringing comfort and grace to Job.

At best we can encourage our brothers and sisters in The Lord and direct them. But the source of strength and grace and mercy flow from the Throne of Grace.

We are to be looking up in our times of need. He is our comfort and strength. We are thankful to know that have a Lord that not only deals with our sin(s) but also our situations when we find ourselves in time of need.
Amen
