Today's Favorite Verse: Job 21:7, 9, 13-14, 19
"Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
Job acknowledges the wicked sometimes prosper in this life. It isn't until final judgment that they face God's wrath and receive their reward. I also found it interesting how this chapter also acknowledges there is a chance to know God after death and before resurrection and judgment. The gospel will be preached to them on the other side, but there are those that will still reject it.
Day 2616
