Jesus taught that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Matthew 12.34), and that explains why Job had to open his heart and speak what he was thinking, for he said to his friends,

“Listen carefully to my speech, and to my declaration with your ears. See now, I have prepared my case, I know that I shall be vindicated. Who is he who will contend with me? If now I hold my tongue, I perish” (Job 13:17–19).

Have you been where Job was? If so, you know the agony of his heart and the bitterness of his spirit, and you have a friend in Job. Read the Book named after him, and see that God knows your turmoil.
