Days of Prosperity and Years of Pleasure
Theme
God desires His children to have days of prosperity and years of pleasure. This wonderful
lifestyle is the reward promised to obedient believers who serve the Lord!
Scripture Reading
Job 36:5-12 “Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom. He preserveth
not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor. He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with
kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them forever, and they are exalted. And if they be bound in
fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction; Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they
have exceeded. He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. If they
obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. But if they obey not,
they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.”
Relating to Scripture
The book of Job has to do with a man Job, who endured tremendous suffering and calamity. During the
course of his suffering, Job became guilty of blaming God for his trouble. In the midst of one such event, a
young man named Elihu began to speak on God’s behalf.
Job said that the cry of suffering was unheard by God, claiming God was unconcerned. Elihu responds by
saying that God is mighty, and strong in wisdom. He says that God does not favor the wicked but cares for the
righteous. He says if the righteous are afflicted, suffering can serve as instruction to bring them out. Elihu then
tells Job that if those who are afflicted obey and serve God, then days of prosperity and years of pleasures will
result. If the afflicted do not obey God, Elihu warns, they will perish and die.
The promise of God as spoken by Elihu, is just as true for you and me today as it was for Job. If we obey and
serve God, our lives will be filled with days of prosperity and years of pleasures. To the contrary, if we walk in
disobedience, we shall perish and die. The choice is ours. Disobedience brings death. Obedience, however,
brings days of prosperity and years of pleasure. Today may we give in obedience that we might reap the
promises of God.
Offering Admonition
We give our tithes and offerings today in obedience to God’s Word. Because of this faithfulness, we are assured of
days of prosperity and years of pleasure.
