Report Article
I learned new jargon when dating my husband to be.
When asked how he was doing, he sometimes replied, ‘fair-to-middling.’
Someone of French descent might answer, ‘comme ci-comme ca.’
At times, I’ve waved my right hand side-to-side; I am okay (so-so) but not feeling all that great.
Fair-to-middling relationships reveal fair weather friends.
Job had a visit from fair weather friends. He needed compassion; they brought criticism and condemnation. True friends offer comfort and encouragement (in the storms of life).
“Then Job answered,
‘I have heard many such things;
Sorry comforters are you all.
‘Is there no limit to windy words?
Or what plagues you that you answer?
‘I too could speak like you,
If I were in your place.
I could compose words against you
And shake my head at you.
‘I could strengthen you with my mouth,
And the solace of my lips could lessen your pain (Job 16:5 NASB).”
We have power in our lips; we can lesson someone’s pain. God alone has power to bring physical and spiritual healing; yet, we can aid in emotional healing. He gives doctors wisdom and discernment; He hears the prayers of His children.
Are my lips prepared to pray, to speak words of comfort?
