Job 10:8-12 (KJV) 8 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me. 9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again? 10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, […]
Job knew that God formed us in our mother’s womb. This is where God breathed into us our spirit, that we might have life.
Job 9:8-10 (KJV) 8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. 9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. 10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.

Job 7:1,2 (KJV) 1 Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling? 2 As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:
Life is hard and many times we just want to give up. It is in these trials that we should cry out to God for help and comfort.
Job 6:14-18 (KJV) 14 To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty. 15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away; 16 Which are blackish by reason of the […]
While facing trials, we should never have to plead our case before people, just to have kindness and love shown towards us.
Job 5:15-17 (KJV) 15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. 16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth. 17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the […]
Lean on God and give wise counsel to people and never bad counsel from yourself alone. Usher in peace, not contention.
Job 4:1-4 (KJV) 1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, 2 If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking? 3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands. 4 Thy words have upholden him that […]
It is never good to accuse people of sinning just because they are sick or going through trials. Pray for and Comfort them instead.

God gives and takes away, but most times it is Satan that inflicts us with pain and sorrow. In all this, we run to God in prayer.
Job 38:4-7 (KJV) 4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner […]
