Job 2:12 ” When they saw him from a distance, they could hardly recognize him…”

Job’s three friends – Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar had come to be with their friend who was going through tough times.  But as they approached, they barely  knew him.  Granted, the horrible sores on Job’s body may have disfigured him greatly…but grief also played a major role in his appearance.  Job’s countenance was changed by the profound sorrow he was going through… of losing all his children…his livelihood…and finally grappling with the stark question… why Lord?  It’s almost impossible to hide those innermost private emotions and struggles  from showing on our face.
