Have you considered...............

Job 1:8  Have you considered my servant Job

There seems to be a theological teaching that says God's goodness can be measured by the amount of cars in your driveway, or the amount of people at your church, or the house that you live in.  Popular prosperity teaching denotes that God is only on your side if you have some sort of sign.  Even in churches, laity tramples themselves to hear a message by a popular preacher and then skip their regular service on Sunday morning.  It is such a great deception.  One day, I was walking along a trail and God showed me what was his.  He said that the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, but he did not make the road I walked on.  Man made that road.  Man put his system right on top of God's perfect world so that when you travel, you have to use the system to get there.  That is the same way it is with Satan.  He has a way for you to be blessed because he holds the worlds systems.  You can be rich and not even be saved because there is a system in place that allows you to do that.  Success should not be seen by things because the enemy can give you things.  What he cannot do, is bless you outside of the system.  What he gives will not last and there always is a catch.  The same God that diminished Job is the the same God that snatched sudden wealth out of nothing greater than what he had before.  Now, that is God.  You can't predict him, and he follows no set plan.  He can bless in a recession where this world is failing.  He can bless in a time when everyone else is loosing their homes.  God is not limited to the worlds system.  Who wouldn't want to serve a God like that.
