People, trouble, & sparks:

". . . man is born for trouble, As sparks fly upward." (Job 5:7, NASB95)
So said Eliphaz in his first speech in the book of Job. Eliphaz and Job's two other buddies had come to comfort him in his time of affliction. They were so appalled at his wretched condition that they sat with him in silence for a week. That was the best thing they had to say. Not that they didn't say true things. Much of what Eliphaz, Zophar, and Bildad pronounced was true, but if you take the overall thrust of their reasoning it is patently false.
This afternoon I was saying "Amen!" to Eliphaz's proverb about people, trouble and fires.
We are getting ready to launch a major outreach to our community. Our live nativity is a highly labor intensive activity. Today I was getting some vehicles ready for the operation. There were untimely flat tires, lugs that froze up and had to be cut off, a dead battery, and parts that stores didn't stock.
It is the way things are in this world.
Where Eliphaz was wrong was in his conclusion that Job's trouble was a specific response by God to some specific sin on Job's part. No, it's life.
Even Jesus faced trouble in His walk on this earth. The Apostle Paul said that "all who will live godly in Christ will suffer persecution." (2 Timothy 3:12)
God doesn't insulate us, but He does give us grace. (see 2 Corinthians 12)

It's STTA.
