Job 27:1 says, Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,  Job was continuing to speak of the truth of the power of God.  In verse two Job says,  As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;  Job acknowledged first that God does indeed live.  If we are to enter into a relationship with God, we must first acknowledge His existence.  Job then said that God had taken away Job's judgment and had vexed his soul.  We know that God had already pronounced Job as an example of a righteous man, and that the vexing of Job's soul came from his questioning God.  Once we acknowledge God's existence, then accept His salvation through faith in Christ as our Savior and Lord, then we no longer have a reason to question God.  It should not matter what is happening in life.  We serve God because of Who He is, and not for what he can do for us materially.  Verse three says, All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;  Job was acknowledging that as long as he had breath that God was the One Who kept him breathing.  Even if we are suffering greatly, we should never question nor blame God.  As followers of Christ, we are God's forevermore, and should never let our situation in the world cause our faith to waver.  Verse four states, My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.  Job said that in his speech he would never proclaim wickedness or lies about God.  We need to be the same way.  We should never attempt to credit the wickedness in the world to God, nor should we utter deceitful things about God.  We need to stand firm in our convictions about God.  In verse five Job states, God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.  Job asked that God forbid, or prevent, him from ever agreeing with his friends who questioned his integrity.  We can never allow other people to determine our relationship with God.  If we are certain of our relationship with God, even if the whole world were to pronounce us as guilty of sin, we must simply hold on to that relationship with Him.  God secures those who are His forever. Verse six states, My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.  As just stated above about what we should do, Job said that he would hold fast to his righteous, his living under God's authority, for as long as he lived.  His righteousness was not based on his goodness, but on his relationship to God.  Verse seven says, Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.  Job said that those who rose up against him should be viewed as wicked and unrighteous, since they were making false claims against him.  If we go to those who are suffering and claim that this is a sign of sin in their lives, we are acting as wicked people, unless God has shown us without a doubt that they are suffering as a result of sin.  Even then, we are not to go from an attitude of contempt or superiority, but from an attitude of love and concern.  In verse eight Job asks, For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?  Job wanted to know what anyone gained from a hypocritical relationship with God.  They might use their supposed relationship with God to profit materially, but they would sacrifice their soul's eternal relationship with God.  Verse nine asks, Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?  If our relationship with God is not real or sincere, the only prayer He is going to hear from us in times of trouble, or anytime for that matter, is when we call on Him for forgiveness through Christ.  Verse ten asks, Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?  Hypocrites really do not delight in God, but attempt to use God for their own purpose.  Even as followers of Christ, we can become guilty of hypocrisy in our relationship with God if we start to believe that God should always bless us materially or if we start to feel morally superior to others.
