If you would earnestly seek God and make your supplication to the Almighty, If you were pure and upright, Surely now He would awaken for you, And prosper your rightful dwelling place. Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly. Job 8:5-7 NKJV Job’s friend Bildad tells him to repent. Like Eliphaz he speaks of God’s justice. Like Job and Eliphaz he believes God always blesses the righteous and punishes the wicked. We should all repent or turn from wickedness and embrace righteousness. God is just in all His dealings with us. He does bless the righteous and punish wickedness. God’s ways of doing things are very different than ours! The days before Jesus returns will be wicked. Depravity will be unbridled. People will commit all manner of evil and call it good. The devil will tighten his grip upon the world. He will lash out at God’s people. Evil will be in full bloom for a short period of time. People who love God and trust Him through trials and hardships will be blessed. If we call on God He will answer. The answers may not come right away. Then suddenly as if God was roused from a slumber He will answer with blessing and prosperity of spirit! The place where we prosper will not be built by human hands. God is preparing it for us. As if roused from a deep sleep He will appear suddenly and come riding on the clouds to take us home! We were born in sin and iniquity. Our lives are spent in a land that is not our home. We are surrounded by evil and injustice. When Jesus takes us home we will be surrounded by true love. It will be perfect and unending! It is wrong to believe only evil people suffer. Good people are not always blessed the way we expect. There are many evil people who appear to prosper. God is allowing them the freedom to choose how they live and where they spend eternity. There are many Godly people suffering. God has not abandoned them. Goodly people will spend eternity with the Lord! Israel has suffered more than any nation or people ever have. God has protected them and blessed them more than any other people. They are His. He loves them. All people who call on the Name of the Lord are the people of God. He loves us. He is calling us to trust Him more than ever before. The days are growing darker by the hour. When Jesus returns will He find faith upon the earth? Yes, He will. We will be here! Do not judge God by your circumstances. If He could take us out of this fallen world and still carry out His perfect plan He would. Seek Jesus and you will find Him. Follow Jesus and He will teach you His ways! God will rise up and prosper you in ways you cannot see with your eyes today! http://www.joyfor2day.com www.facebook.com/Joyfor2dayDailyDevotional https://twitter.com/JoyFor2day #Joyfor2daydailydevotional
