7. A friend encourages you. “For the despairing man there should be kindness from his friend” (Job 6:14, NASB). Job needed more than what his own wife gave him when she said, “Curse God and die!” (Job 2:9). Real support, huh?
Encouragement comes primarily from God through His Word, but also through trusted friends like a Barnabas (whose name means “son of encouragement”).
