A few more thoughts on Job

1. There is no record of Job asking God to sustain him through his testing

2. Job's initial response to his temporal life situation was over-shadowed by his attempt at self justification

3. Job's friends did not seek to reorient Job from his self justification

4. What would have happened if Job would have asked God to sustain him through the trial instead of seeking to justify himself

5. What would have happened if Job's friends would have tried to help him instead of insisting that his problems were the result of sin

6. The only record of Job trying to alleviate his medical condition is of him trying to do it himself

7. There is no record of Job trying to seek out help during his time of testing, ether from God or man

8. Good intentioned people can cause great harm
