Memory Verse
Psalms 73:19
SCRIPTURE READING
Job 21:17-26
17 “How often is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out?
That their calamity comes upon them?
That God[a] distributes pains in his anger?
18 That they are like straw before the wind,
and like chaff that the storm carries away?
19 You say, ‘God stores up their iniquity for their children.’
Let him pay it out to them, that they may know it.
20 Let their own eyes see their destruction,
and let them drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21 For what do they care for their houses after them,
when the number of their months is cut off?
22 Will any teach God knowledge,
seeing that he judges those who are on high?
23 One dies in his full vigor,
being wholly at ease and secure,
24 his pails[b] full of milk
and the marrow of his bones moist.
25 Another dies in bitterness of soul,
never having tasted of prosperity.
26 They lie down alike in the dust,
and the worms cover them.
QUESTIONS FOR MEDITATION

Scripture Union Daily Power – 7 August 2025 Outline
It may seem that the wicked prosper seamlessly. Read Job 21:17-21, what does it teach you about God’s dealings with the wicked? The end of the wicked is not enviable, therefore they should not be envied at all, but rather pitied and prayed for. Job 21:22-26 teach us about God’s sovereignty. How should this affect our everyday life?
Understanding that God is sovereign and does what pleases Him should teach us that we must live our lives purposefully to give Him that pleasure. The rich and the poor alike, go down to the dust and take nothing with them. However, the life of Christ in any man makes the difference in life and in death. Is Christ indwelling in you? He is our sole guarantee for eternal life after our short lives on earth.
Closing Prayer
May my life give You pleasure every day.
