19“Or someone may be chastened on a bed of pain
with constant distress in their bones,
20so that their body finds food repulsive
and their soul loathes the choicest meal.
21Their flesh wastes away to nothing,
and their bones, once hidden, now stick out.
22They draw near to the pit,
and their life to the messengers of death.c
23Yet if there is an angel at their side,
a messenger, one out of a thousand,
sent to tell them how to be upright,
Thoughts: Job 33- Words from Elihu to Job that summarize. The verses from yesterday point out that God speaks through dreams or sometimes in the voice of conscience. Here is a reminder of God speaking through pain. Someone said that pain is the alarmclock of the soul. God tries to wake us up to Himself through pain. Many times people wake up to God and see what is really important through sickness or sadness. Sometimes we have to be flat on our back to see that work is not the most important thing in life. Sometimes our pain teaches us to pray out to the Lord for help.
Prayer: Help me to hear you speak to me- even through pain.
