PUTTING STUMBLING PEOPLE ON THEIR FEET

Thursday, July 19, 2007

Reading through the Book of Job I read the words of Eliphaz to Job: “You yourself have done this plenty of times, spoken words that clarify, encouraged those who were about to quit. Your words have put stumbling people on their feet.” Those are the words of a friend.

This morning I was floating on the pool and I got to thinking about all the people who have spoken words to me that clarified the situation and encouraged me. They put me on my feet when I was stumbling. There have been so many of them that I can’t count or name them. There have been men and women—but especially women.

THANK GOD FOR THOSE WHO HAVE WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO OFFER AND KNOW WHEN TO DO IT.
