Sick Body or Spirit

13 

Spouting off before listening to the facts
     is both shameful and foolish.

14 

The human spirit can endure a sick body,
     but who can bear a crushed spirit?

Verse 13

A wise man listens carefully before he advises anyone. A fool (that is, an evil man) does not need to listen. He already has plenty of foolish ideas to tell you.

The fool thinks that he knows everything. Really, he knows nothing. He is wrong, because he hates wisdom. So he has never learned anything.

Verse 14

Your spirit needs to be strong. Your spirit can help you when your body is weak. If your spirit is weak, then you will struggle.

Our spirits will become strong, if we trust God. Like our bodies, our spirits need exercise. We should study the Bible and pray to God. We should go to church and meet other Christians. We should look after and encourage other people. All these activities will help us. If we do these things, God will make our spirits stronger. See 1 Thessalonians 5:16-22, Hebrews 13:1-10 and Philippians 4:13. 

And remember, this proverbs tells us that a positive attitude can aid in healing. But sometimes, an illness can last a long time, leading to depression. In such cases, friends need to support and encourage the sick person, not blame them like Job’s “friends” did.

Let me ask you: Do you often make up your mind about relationships without really knowing the people involved?
