Eliphaz reminds us today of a forgotten growth conductor... Pain. We live in a society in which we believe that all discomfort should be avoided and any trials that come our ways bring no hope. However, there is a different side to experiencing pain. Sometimes pain bring clarity or healing or even hope. Job had to hold on to this as an anchor.
Though Eliphaz was insightful, he was not absolutely correct. His notion that Job had sinned and that that was why he was experiencing the trials he was facing is a common misconception among most Christians. A relationship with God does not exclude us from a life of challenges. Everything we experience is part of a process that is leading us toward total restoration and completion (James 1:3).
