Daily Reading:
Job 21-24

1.) Facts:

• Eliphaz believes that Job's current situation has been brought about by a sin that he has not confessed or brought to the light. He believes that if only Job knew of God's intense personal interest in him that he would not take his sin so lightly. This however, does not apply to Job for he was an upright man and full of integrity. He had asked for the forgiveness of his sins earlier and submitted himself to God. In chapter 23, Job explains to Eliphaz that he would repent if only he knew what he had done wrong. Job is simply looking for an explanation from God. 

2.) Lessons:

• Success is not based upon outward performance or what the world deems as successful. Success is based upon the state of our heart and our relationship to God.
• 21:22 - "Can anyone teach knowledge to God?" The way I respond to personal struggles shows my attitude towards God. 
• 22: 12-14 - Even though Job's sin did not bring about his calamities and sorrow, sin often entangles us and God will use our sin to correct our behavior. Our sin cannot be taken lightly as it separates us from God.

3.) Applications:

• Their are times in life where evil men do prosper and experience wealth and happiness, however, as Christians we cannot base success on outward performance, but on the state of our heart. God will punish the wicked and we will all be held accountable for our actions on the day of judgement.
• God has an intense personal interest in us and we cannot take our sin lightly. We must submit to God and be at peace with Him.
• 22:5 - "Is not your wickedness great? Are not your sins endless?" This verse confirms our fallen nature and our need for repentance and forgiveness. 
• 22:21-23 -  “Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you. Accept instruction from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored."
• 23:10 - "when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold."

4.) Daily Meditation: 4:45-5:45am

• 23:10 - "when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold."
