Job 15 - 22. Once again, Job's three friends (Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar) reprove him. Eliphaz describes the type of life a "wicked man" has. Chapter 15:20 says, "The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.". Then verse 24 goes on to state, "Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid;...", and the last Scriptures I'm citing is 15:29-30, which say, "He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth. He shall not depart out of darkness;..."
Let's focus on verse 24 for a minute. Even as Christians, we are going to experience trouble and anguish in our lives. For the "wicked" this brings about fear. But thankfully, for us Christians, it should cause us to turn to God to seek peace and resolution. Faith and fear don't mix!
Job 19:25 states, "For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.". It is my utmost hope that each person reading this blog knows this, as it is just as true today as it was baback then!
