28) Looking for Job
- YOU FEEL BAD THEN HAVE A LOOK AT THE BOOK OF JOB AND ESPECIALLY AT HIS WORDS
- OR BETTER SAID, HAVE A LOOK AT THE BOOK OF JOB AGAIN AND AGAIN AND BEFORE YOU FEEL BAD, ALWAYS HAVING IN MIND HIS WORDS AND THINKING ABOUT THEM AND HOW HE STAYED A ROCK EVEN IN THE PIT ALWAYS FIGHTING BACK WHATEVER WOULD HAPPEN!

30) Looking for Job
- Of course, there are many different situations where to find desperation!
- And there are different levels of desperation!
- Of course, Job was not going to die!
- Probably, the hardest desperation is when people are going to die!
- It’s not the time to wake up when people are dead!
- We must do something when they are still alive!
- When we are present, we show that we care!
- It is important to take advantage of any minute to show people that we love them or appreciate them!

- Having to do with someone who is quadriplegic is also difficult!
- Of course, the person is not going to die!
- Thus there is always hope!
- Let’s think about Stephen Hawking the physicist: he could only use his brain but he did it in such a way and the specialists only gave him a short time to live and he could prove them to be wrong!

32) Looking for Job
- Having to do with someone who is paraplegic is also difficult!
- It’s not easy to stop being able to walk and run and do many things with the legs!
- But there are so many examples of people who are doing sport being paraplegic!
- And at first, they may get depressed!
- But we have our legs and we can go for a walk with them pushing their wheelchairs and nature is so beautiful and has so much to offer and so much life!
- And we can help them do some sport!
- And mental activities are also important!
- Think about blind people and how they can compensate the loss of sight!
- There are always ways to enjoy life and studying the Bible is an essential one to keep hope in spite of what happens every day in the world!

33) Looking for Job
Job 6:
You would also cast lots over an orphan
And sell your own friend!
- Job’s words are really hard!
- But sometimes and often it is important to tell things as it has to be told!
- Otherwise we may regret it!
- And Job invites us to remember his words and not act like the three individuals who came to see him to help him but did the reverse!
- Of course, when we act stupidly, we need to be told!
- But someone who is desperate or depressed first need people to understand how he feels and to listen to him and to be encouraged to go back to life gradually and not too fast!
- Imagine someone who has been in coma and must learn everything again!

34) Looking for Job
Job 6:
So now turn and look at me,
For I would not lie to your very faces,
- When we speak to people, do we really look at them!
- It doesn’t mean looking at the person all the time because to concentrate it is necessary to close one’s eyes or close the doors and the windows and get inside!
- But at least when the person expresses his feelings or moves we must watch carefully to interpret!

35) Looking for Job
Job 6:
Reconsider, please – do not misjudge me -
Yes, reconsider, for my righteousness is yet intact,
- It is quite easy to misjudge probably mainly because of appearances or because of bad experiences or lack of experiences!
-The first word of this word is essential “Reconsider”!

36) Looking for Job
- We may have or take the wrong approach or let influence but it is better to recognize it and change it if or when necessary!
- Think about how you would react at the same situation at different ages of your life or even during the same day at different times of the day!
- Just thinking about reconsidering may change everything and sometimes your whole life!
- There are always different options!
- Of course, sometimes we need to hurry but even!

37) Looking for Job
Job 6:
Is my tongue speaking unjustly?
Does my palate not discern that something
is wrong?
- Job is in total distress!
- He knows it perfectly!
- No need to tell him!
- For these guys, it seems impossible to help!
- How easy it is to make a situation worse!
- Sometimes it is better no to say a word, sometimes it is better to act!
- But these guys, they have all wrong and each time they make it worse!
- It helps to understand why God uses special hard training for his faithful ones!

Job 7:
“Is not the life of mortal man on earth like
compulsory labor,
And are not his days like those of a hired worker?”
- compulsory labor, hired worker: it sounds like slavery, displeasure, unhappiness!
- Of course, Job in down the pit and thus he speaks about his condition!
- He employs precise words to express or traduce his precise condition and real feelings!
- How is it possible to be insensitive?
- Well, the three individuals are and not only them!

39) Looking for Job
Job7:
Like a slave, he longs for the shadow,
And like a hired worker, he waits for his
wages.
- Here we are: “like a slave”!
- Yes, a negative vision connected to a negative state of mind!
- In this case, your world is closed and it is really hard to get in!
- Definitely not by discouraging the person but by encouraging him or her!

40) Looking for Job
Job 7:
Thus I have been assigned months of futility
And nights of misery have been counted out for me.
- There is often one element we don’t take into account and which is essential: TIME!
- In fact, the book of Job doesn’t enhance the period of time Job had to suffer!
- Pain and suffering are difficult to bear but when it lasts and lasts and lasts!
- Here Job speaks about “months of futility”!
- Of course, he would have been more useful for him and for people if he could live a normal life during this time!
- Of course, he was trained through hardship!
- So everything is relative: one situation in exchange of another one with positive and negative effects!
