LOOK:

Turn to God in times of trouble. When life is difficult, bring your struggles to God through prayer instead of facing them alone.

Recognize God’s Power and Sovereignty. Eliphaz describes certain attributes of God. We need to remember that God is actively at work in the world, even when circumstances see chaotic.

Be Careful when Giving Advice to the Suffering. Avoid assuming you know why someone is suffering. Offer compassion instead.

Accept that God can Use Discipline. Eliphaz states that the one whom God corrects is blessed because God both wounds and heals. At times, hardship can be an opportunity for growth, reflection, and spiritual maturity.

There is Hope for Restoration. Eliphaz speaks about God rescuing people from trouble and restoring peace and security. Let’s remember that even during suffering, maintain hope that God can bring restoration and renewal.
