Job 21 - Day 1026 (link to reading)
Scripture: Job 21:4-11 Commentary (enduringword.com): Job challenged the moral order of the universe as previously understood by his friends. He challenged them to see that if it was possible for a wicked man to be seemingly blessed, then perhaps also a righteous man like Job could seem to be cursed. Zophar said that the wicked die prematurely (Job 20:4-11); Job insisted that instead, the wicked live and become old. “Of some creatures we used to say, that they have nine lives; of some wicked men it may be thought so, they do evil a hundred times, and yet their days are prolonged. Manasseh reigned longest of any king in Judah. Pope John XXII (that monster and mortalist) lived longest of any pope, and died richest. God gives wealth, health, and long life to many wicked.” (Trapp) Application: Sometimes we may notice things that don't seem to make sense in the world around us. However, it's important to remember that we may not necessarily deserve everything we have. Personally, I feel grateful for all the blessings in my life and I try to avoid judging others by practicing kindness and gratitude. Prayer: Lord have mercy... Comments are closed.
