This devotion on Job 21:7-9 wrestles with an age-old question: Why do the wicked prosper while the righteous suffer? Job rejects simplistic explanations and instead acknowledges a difficult reality—many who reject God still enjoy wealth, power, and security.
Yet Scripture provides a greater perspective:
✔️ Worldly success is not a sign of divine favor (Luke 16:15).
✔️ God’s justice operates on an eternal timeline (Psalm 37:2).
✔️ Suffering refines faith and leads to deeper trust (2 Corinthians 4:17).
✔️ Christ’s suffering on the cross shows that God’s justice is often beyond human understanding.
Though injustice may seem to prevail, God’s justice is never denied—only delayed. In the end, the righteous will inherit eternal glory, while the wicked’s prosperity fades.
