No hope for the godless

Continuing on in the book of Job, chapter 27, Job made a vow that no matter what was done to him, he would tell no lies.  He would not turn his back on God.  He placed his complete trust in the Almighty Lord.

Verse 8 struck me as powerful: "For what hope do the godless have when God cuts them off and takes away their life?"

The rest of the verses are a comparison to evil people and righteous ones.  Evil people may have hordes of money, large houses, and tons of clothes.  But they will soon find it gone and are constantly worried about their stuff.

The righteous gained their inheritance from the Lord.

Stop comparing yourself to others, when you know in your heart that they are not living a godly life.  Keep your trust in the Lord as Job did.  God will reward you.
