Stop Searching

It is important to realize that problems can always get worse and that we are the ones who make the problem worse. Job is a person who simplifies things and doesn’t use blame in his judgments. His friends instead made the problem worse by saying Job must have sinned and it is important to learn from the way Job stopped them. He explained why he had done nothing wrong “And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth? (Job, chapter 24).” Good is contagious but so is evil and that teaches us that we must choose good friends who will support our actions even if it goes against their ideals. Choosing good friends won’t make you happy you also have to learn how to stop people from taking away the good in your life and filling your head with bad ideas “I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you (Job, chapter 16).” For me Job has been one of the best examples of the bible and by learning not to search for things “When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness (Job, chapter 30).” I have made my life a much happier one.
