Life is very simple. Simple to live and simple to overcome, for those who have the light. But for those who do not have the light, life is a little complicated, because it falls very easy, and most of the time it sees that it is going wrong, and yet it persists in error. Of so many successful men that the Word of God shows us, let's talk about Job. Job is a clear example of a successful man, possessing an exemplary heritage. "And his cattle were of seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, five hundred boards of oxen, and five hundred asses: and the servants were very many in his service, so that the man was greater than all the men of the east." (Job 1: 3) In Job's time, he was the most successful on earth.

But before we speak of Job's prosperity, let's go back to the beginning of the chapter, see verse 1. "There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job: and this man was upright, upright and fearful of God, and he turned from evil. " (Job 1: 1)

Besides being righteous, upright, and fearful of God, he went astray in evil ... pay attention to this dear brother, he was not only God fearing, or righteous, but he turned away from evil, that is, he had the vision, when he realized that something was wrong, he passed away. Understand that for you to grow in life, you must learn to turn from evil, you must stop lying, stop disobeying, stop ignoring God's counsels, and so many others, all that is needed to grow. Can we go to another example of the Bible, do you know the passage of Ananias and Sapphira? "But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, and took some of the price, and his wife also knew it, and took some of it, and laid it at the feet of the apostles." (Acts 5: 1 and 2) Ananias did not turn from evil, but let evil enter into his heart. The moment you decide to grow up, and begin to take correct actions, you will surely tinker with the structures of hell, and consequently, he will cast arrows so that you give up on living a righteous life with God, but stand firm and do it all vows of heart and do not forget to deviate from evil.
