Read Job 5:1 through 8:22
Carter and Anne took annual trips to Yosemite every May. In May the waterfalls are at their peak and the most breathtaking. God’s splendor is exhibited in nature. This year, a combination of rains and warm weather melted the ice pack at the waterfall tops, and the overflowing water cascaded into the valley forcing tourists and staff to evacuate. Carter and Anne’s well-planned vacation was cut short. Swift rivers and rushing waters are not to be taken lightly.
Job compared his friends to the unpredictability of overflowing rivers.
But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams, as the streams that overflow (Job 6:15).
If your friends compared you to nature’s streams, what kind of friend would you be? Are you the kind that is dependable, like the river that flows consistently through the valley? Or are you unpredictable, like the river out of control, a good friend during good times and a not so good friend during tough times?
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Ask God to help you be a better friend to one person today.
