What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
Job twenty-one sounds a ton like Psalms seventy-three. It is not unlike what we see happening in our own time. From the natural eye, it looks like those who love the Lord are on the losing end.
The Psalmist was envious of the foolish.
- He said the ungodly prosper
- He said even in death they seem to fare better
Job spoke of,
- The longevity of the wicked
- The seed of the wicked
- The safety of the wicked
- The prosperity of the wicked
The Psalmist said the ungodly say, “How doth God know?”
Job writes that the ungodly say, “What profit should we have if we pray to Him?”
I write this in June 2023. Our President has a gay pride flag over the Whitehouse and hosted a gay pride party there this last week. Pictures and videos of the event are shameful and wicked. Indeed, these people ask, “How doth God know?” And “What profit should I have if we pray to Him?”
The Psalmist answers for himself, for Job, and for us.
Psalms 73:16-18 (KJV)
When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.
