30:20-23 Discernment In the dark night of adversity, it is sometimes hard to discern between the work of God and the attacks of the devil. Job was lonely and in need of answers from God, yet God was silent. Perhaps the best service we can do for people who find themselves in such times of darkness and despair is to reassure them that they are not alone. While it’s true that God is always with them, we can choose to lend a hand as well.
