Words in the wind
Verse of the day: Are you going to repeat my words, said by a man desperate in the wind?(Job 6. 26)
- In suffering.
- Pain and despair.
- People often say things they wouldn’t say otherwise.
- They represent reality with darker features than those that will present tomorrow.
- When the sun rises.
- They sing in low notes and talk like it’s the only song.
- They just see the clouds and talk like there’s no sky.
They say, “Where is God?” Yes:? There’s no point in continuing. Or: “Nothing makes sense. ” Or: “There is no hope for me. “Or: “If God were good, wouldn’t this have happened?”
What should we do with these words?
Job says we don’t have to rebuke them. These words are wind or literally “in the wind. “They will be removed quickly. There will be a change of circumstance and the desperate person will wake up from the dark night and repent of the hasty words.
So the point is not to waste your time and energy on wasting these words. You don’t need to cut the leaves in autumn, it’s an unnecessary effort. They’ll soon fall alone.
Oh, how quickly we are inclined to defend God or sometimes the truth, in the face of words that are only in the wind; If we had discernment, we could differentiate words with roots and words said in the wind.
There are words rooted in deep error and wickedness, yet not all desperate words get their color from a darkened heart, some are mainly tinged by pain and despair, what you hear is not the deepest inside you, there is something real inside where they come from, but is it temporary?, like a passing infection?it’s real, painful, but not the real person.
Let us learn to discern whether the words spoken against us or against God or against the truth are simply in the wind, they spoke not of the soul, but of pain; if they are in the wind, let us wait in silence and do not disappoint. Restoring the soul, not rebuilding pain, is the goal of our love.
