Job 27:
Job
insists that despite the fact that God has taken away his rights and made his
soul bitter, he was still going to be blameless as long as he lived. In
other words, we should not change our principle to do evil just because we are
not getting what we want by being good. Changing your principles to get
what you want by acting godlessly only leads to either instant gratification or an
instant accomplishment that will lead to substantial problems in the future.
Job says he will not care about the progress of the wicked or the ungodly
because the day God comes to deal with him, he has no where to run to.
The
wicked may have many children, but their lives are for destruction. The
unrighteous may have lots of wealth, but it is to be shared by the innocent.
When they die, even the widow does not weep. So a man who makes a descent
modest living is more valuable that the wicked amassing wealth. |

Job 28:
Job says
man has so much ability that he even goes underneath the earth to get iron and
gold. He can even go into the rocks for precious stones. He has been
where bird have not seen and walked where beast have not. Despite all his
abilities, man does not know himself and lacks wisdom. Man cannot find
wisdom in the sea or underneath the ground, and no amount of money or precious
stones can buy wisdom. Only God has possession of wisdom. God the
creator gave the wind its weight and water its measurements. Only God
understands the rain and thunder. So wisdom is the fear of God and
understanding is the rejection of evil.
Job 29:
Job wished for the days of
his primes, when God was with him, and the children were all round him. He
remembered the time when at the city square, nobles and prices would listen when
he spoke, old men stood up for him, and the young withdrew respectfully because
he was able to deliver the poor and help the fatherless. It pays to be
good and be a positive impact to your community. |
