Job did not try to hide his sorrow; he wept before God. God's people are people with tender feelings, and when they are called upon to bear the rod, they feel it! God takes away our heart of stone; he does not turn the heart to stone. We sorrow, indeed, but not as those who have no hope.
Job's sorrow was sanctified by worship! Sorrow and trouble should always lead to worship and praise. In all of this trouble, trial and sorrow, Job did not speak in an unworthy manner against God. He did not dishonor the name of God, nor compare his lot with the lot of others. He fell down and worshipped God (Job 2:10; 13:15). If grief presses you to the ground, worship there. If trials lay you low, worship there.
