Job 24:1, “Since times are not hidden from the Almighty, WHY DO THOSE WHO KNOW HIM SEE NOT HIS DAYS?
Job struggles in understanding why the wicked seem to prosper and the righteous don’t? FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW IT IS HARD, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO UNDERSTAND WHY GOD DOES OR DOESN’T DO SOMETHING? BUT THOSE WHO KNOW HIM KNOWS WILL PLACE THEIR TRUST IN HIM!
Psa 9:10, AND THOSE WHO KNOW YOUR NAME WILL PUT THEIR TRUST IN YOU; FOR YOU, LORD, HAVE NOT FORSAKEN THOSE WHO SEEK YOU.
Job 24:2-4, “SOME REMOVE LANDMARKS; THEY SEIZE FLOCKS VIOLENTLY AND FEED ON THEM; THEY DRIVE AWAY THE DONKEY OF THE FATHERLESS; THEY TAKE THE WIDOW’S OX AS A PLEDGE. THEY PUSH THE NEEDY OFF THE ROAD; ALL THE POOR OF THE LAND ARE FORCED TO HIDE.
Job sees these evil men stealing from the poor, from the fatherless and from the widows; Job knows what’s written in HIS word regarding them. BUT JUSTICE DOESN’T SEEM TO COME? GOD SEEMS TO BE SILENT EVEN THOUGH IN HIS WORD THOSE EVIL MEN ARE CURSED?
Deu 27:17, ‘CURSED IS THE ONE WHO MOVES HIS NEIGHBOR’S LANDMARK.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’
Deu 10:18, HE ADMINISTERS JUSTICE FOR THE FATHERLESS AND THE WIDOW, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing.
Job 24:12, The dying groan in the city, And the souls of the wounded cry out; YET GOD DOES NOT CHARGE THEM WITH WRONG.
Psa 73:17-19, UNTIL I WENT INTO THE SANCTUARY OF GOD; THEN I UNDERSTOOD THEIR END. Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction. Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.
THE DAY IS COMING AND IS ALMOST HERE, WHERE THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SEE THEIR BLESSED HOPE, JESUS, FACE TO FACE, BUT THE WICKED WILL HAVE THEIR END!
Isa 3:11, Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, For the reward of his hands shall be given him.
