March 4, 2012 – Tobit 1-2

Here we see something that is really the opposite of Job. Tobit loses his sight and becomes angry and depressed. He snapped at his wife and would not listen. Job, although he lost more, doesn’t seem to jump to in that direction. And here we have a very honorable and respected man. It is a lesson that no matter how honorable and good we may become, we are still vulnerable to going downhill. We must be on guard against this and not let bad things change what we know and believe to be true. Oh, how easy that is to say and so hard to do.
