27 Aug - Job 23-27; 2 Corinthians 1:12-2:11; Psalm 41; Proverbs 22:5-6

Job 27:5 Far be it from me to say that you are right;till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.6 I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go;my heart does not reproach me for any of my days.

Yes, the unrighteousnes will surely prevail and the righteous will surely suffer. If so what do you want to do about it?

Job argued that if one day God will to take away everything the righteous as well as the unrighteous have. He answered from the perspective of our response to God. To the righteous, the Lord gives and the Lord takes. All our blessings is from God and since our walk with God is righteous, what more can we lose except our worldly pocessions. We still have God. On the contary, the unrighteous who claim and obtain the pocessions thrugh dishonest means will lament and lament to no one except himself. He has no God- he will be empty. He knew that even if he is to lament to God, God will not answer him - so sad.

I pray that my walk will be upright with God. Let me not look at how little I have as compared with many, but to look at how bless I am as compare with many more people. So what if I have more and yet I forget God and say that these things I have obtained not from God but by my own talents.

I am reminded of Rachael prayers - leaving a legacy to the children. Yes indeed, as I journey along side with Jesus, Lord you teach me to share and to share what I learn from you. I pray that as you lead me, I will lead my family. I pray for my family, that as we will journey together towards the goal and vision God had given me.
