Job11

Job 11:20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And they shall not escape, And their hope—loss of life!"

Another one of Job's friends steps in. Some of his speech sounds right, but notice that he speaks as though he himself were above the laws he speaks of. Finally, the true heart of the matter comes out in the end. Job has been thrown into the "wicked" category, and therefore loss of life is only the inevitable.

There are Christians out there who forget where they came from. Even if you grew up in a Christian home and have not had a "major" sin, it is good to remember that your flesh is just as wicked's as everybody elses. What a beautiful thing to live in humility. What a beautiful thing to live like a servant. Jesus did. He had the right to parade His perfection, but instead, he bore our sins. Remember, Christian, the only difference between us and the world is Jesus. We do not boast anything of ourselves!

Judge not. Examine yourself. Speak to God and consider where you came from. We have all this because of Jesus. To Him be the glory forever and ever!
