Thoughts on Bible Reading: Romans6 & Job2 [shared by Andrew]

Today Romans 6 talks about the struggle with sin. A passage of contrasts - black and white; between sin and righteousness. 

What struck me today was that while I struggle with daily victory and think it is a matter of self will, the solution may be more of focussing on how I can do good rather than thinking about how to avoid sinning thru my self will.

Job 2 sees Job being afflicted with even more suffering yet still accepting both good and bad from the lord.  

I like how his three friends set out to comfort him - Being with him silently for 7 days.  (It is when they start to speak that problems start).

Thot: How can I better practice the presence of silence in the comfort I seek to bring to others?
