Job 31: 24 says, If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;  As Job continues to answer the charges made against him, he now really says that he didn't put his faith in gold.  Even if we have riches beyond measure, we can never put our faith in them.  Like everything else but our relationship to God, they will pass away.  Verse twenty-five states, If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;  I believe that Job was stating that he did not find a reason for rejoicing because of his wealth.  He still saw it as a blessing from God.  If we are followers of Christ and become rich in material things, we can never allow them to be our source of rejoicing.  We need to remember that everything belongs to God, and He expects us to use what He blesses us with for His glory.  Verse twenty-six adds, If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;  I believe that Job was stating that he never worshipped false gods like the sun and moon, as many did in his day.  Verse twenty seven adds, And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:  Job said that he never even thought of worshipping the false gods nor paying homage to them.  We should be just as careful today that we do not even allow thoughts of worshipping false gods to enter our minds.  If we are not careful, we can begin to believe that the sun, moon, or stars somehow determine our fate.  Verse twenty eight states, This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.  I believe that Job was saying that if he was guilty of idolatry that he should be punished, even in the courts of the day.  Job said the reason for this was if he were worshipping idols, no matter what they might be, he was guilty of denying the one true God.  If we allow anything to come between God and us, we are guilty of the same thing.  Verse twenty-nine states, If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:  Job said that he did not rejoice in the destruction of his enemies, nor did he use their destruction to make him feel morally superior.  As followers of Christ today, we need to have that same attitude.  In verse thirty Job continues  Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.  Job said that not only did he not rejoice in the destruction of his enemies, but he didn't even allow his words to curse them, or wish for their destruction.  We today need to pray for the salvation of our enemies instead of praying for or even threatening their destruction.  Verse thirty one states, If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.  Job said that even though those who were around him wanted his, or their, enemies destroyed, he did not agree with them.  We, as followers of Christ, are not called to destroy people, but to lead them to forgiveness through Christ.  Verse thirty two says, The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.  Job said he treated the stranger with hospitality, not allowing them to sleep in the street.  Today, we somehow find it acceptable to have families living on the street, often feeling that somehow they deserve it.  This is not what God's word teaches us though.
