Words as Wind?

Job 6:26 reads

"Do you mean to correct what I say, and treat my desperate words as wind?"

This is a gentle and clear reminder that we need to exercise discernment whenever we feel like there is something to address, reprove, resolve.

"In grief and pain and despair, people often say things they otherwise would not say. They paint reality with darker strokes than they will paint it tomorrow when the sun comes up. They sing in minor keys and talk as though that is the only music. They see clouds only and speak as if there were no sky.

They say, “Where is God?” Or: “There is no use to go on.” Or: “Nothing makes any sense.” Or: “There’s no hope for me.” Or: “If God were good, this couldn’t have happened.”"
~ John Piper, Solid Joy

This is our human tendency in our nature to perceive and reflect weighing in on the undesirable things in life, whether it is a word or deed.

But I learnt that even in the midst of this great and deep despair, Job held on to his hope in God.

That is remarkable and God - glorifying.
Praise be to God.
