By Chapter 13 of Job, his friends have been offering lots of opinions, feelings, and judgments. And finally, Job as had enough of their worthless counsel, argumentative tone, and refusal to listen and hear what he was saying to them. These three men had traveled to comfort Job but instead were bent on confrontation and conflict. Mother Teresa once said, ” Be selective in your battles, sometimes peace is better than being right.” And as I care for my 92-year-old father in our home, I have learned this axiom well. I now pick my battles with him as he desperately tries to maintain his independence. I ask myself, “Am I willing to spill blood over this?”…And if the answer is no, I use prudence, diplomacy, and good sense to ensure he still stays safe.
