Job 8:6 If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. Today many believers are confronted with the health, wealth and prosperity teaching that often dominates religious TV. This false teaching is not new. Job, in the midst of his heartache, faced it repeatedly. Bildad was seeking to "comfort" Job. He reasoned that God would always prosper the path of the righteous. This is not true. Sometimes the most God-like lives suffer the most severely. Examples: Paul suffering while He served God (2 Corinthians 11:16-29), Old Testament believers who stood for God against sin (Hebrews 11:36-38). Jesus Himself as He experienced the cross (Matthew 27). Today if you are suffering while doing what is right and following God’s will, know you are in good company. Don't allow the devil, others or yourself to throw you in the midst of despair because the bottom has fallen out on the path in which God has led you.. Trust and stay the right course. Leave the consequences of your obedience in His hands. He will guide you by His word, sustain you by his grace and keep you in His love.
