Description

In Job 16, Job responds to the harsh accusations of his friends—whom he calls "miserable comforters." Instead of compassion, they offer condemnation, assuming that suffering must always be the result of sin. Yet in the depths of his anguish, Job makes one of the most profound confessions in the book: "Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven." Though misunderstood on earth, Job knows that God sees, knows, and testifies on behalf of the righteous. In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, we consider: • Why suffering is not always divine punishment • The danger of speaking without compassion • Job's confidence in a heavenly witness • How Job's hope points forward to Jesus Christ, our faithful Advocate Key Truth: When earthly comfort fails, God's compassion and advocacy never do. 📖 Memory Verse: Job 16:19 For more from Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/reading-the-bible-daily-with-dave/
