Reading Job should be very encouraging to all of us. To know that here was a man who had a good life, with a great family, joy, wealth, and best of all a relationship with the Almighty.

The reading for today is Job 9 through 12.

And Job answered and said,
“No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.  But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?  I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and He answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.  He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.  The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly…”
Job 12:1-6
