Do not seek out Job's comforters

God, that comforteth those that are cast down.

2 Corinthians 7:6

 

"And who comforteth like Him?

 

 There is no balm in Gilead, but there is balm in God.

There is no physician among the creatures,

but the Creator is Jehovah.

 

It is marvellous how one sweet word of God will make whole songs for Christians. 

 

 

Go to the Comforter, and ask Him to give thee consolation. Thou art a poor dry well. ...... Do not go to earthly acquaintances, for you will find them Job's comforters after all; but go first and foremost to thy "God, that comforteth those that are cast down," and you will soon say, "In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul."

Charles Spurgeon
