And so I've gained really great friends in the faith and through this process of me going through my Christian lifestyle. And also throughout the process, I lost a lot of relationships or I had to step away from some people and not go as deep because the Lord was just showing me areas where we weren't spiritually aligned. And that doesn't necessarily mean to be rude to the dang people.

It just means there's a healthy distance to create between people. So it's like, what does it look like walking that out and being friends and especially as a Christian and all those things? And so I want to talk about first Job and his friends. I think that's one of the most popular stories of a friendship in the Bible is the story of Job.

And so I want to talk about first Job and his friends. I think that's one of the most popular stories of a friendship in the Bible is the story of Job.

Job is going through sufferings and trials and tribulations, not because he did anything sinful, but because the Lord allowed a trial and tribulation to happen in order to build Job's character. And so through this story, Job was going through a lot of distress. He was suffering. He received boils all over his body. He was sick. His whole entire family died.

And so through this story, Job was going through a lot of distress. He was suffering. He received boils all over his body. He was sick. His whole entire family died.

Everything he had worked hard for has been stripped away from him. And we see a good attribute of his friends in the story because in a time where Job was suffering and in grief and distress and going through a calamity, instead of Job's friends trying to tell him what he should do and not do, they sat with him in silence and they supported him and they didn't need to say all these fancy things.

They just sat there and they were present. And I think this shows an area where we could have really healthy relationships and what healthy relationships look like is that they sit with you, that they're patient with you, that they're praying for you and that they're beside you.

simultaneously though job's friends also weren't the best after this incident of him losing almost everything and then them sitting with them his friends then developed a behavior and attitude which almost kind of flipped on job which caused a lot of confusion to job because his friends were supposed to be those who he confided in and people who would advocate for him and

And so later they started to criticize him harshly, insisting what was happening to him. And it was because they thought he inflicted it upon himself with disobedience. But Job kept advocating after each time they would speak that he hasn't been disobedient. Instead, he has faithfully served the Lord and he didn't know why any of this happened. was happening.

And Job endured the suffering, but his friends needed to tell the truth about God. And they weren't. They were leaning on their own understanding about God. They didn't comfort him. Instead, they added to his pain. They were doing good in the first half. And then once they got to the second round, they finished very badly.

And so because they didn't tell the truth about God, we see in Job 42 verses seven through nine, God's response to Job's friends is, God's response after the Lord has sent these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am angry with you and your two friends because you have not spoken the truth about me as my servant Job has.

Now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken the truth about me as my servant Job has.
