 When we don't hold on to our righteousness means to who we are in Jesus, we end up clinching to riches. By riches I mean the things that are secondary in life. Things that are important. Things that our life is really all about on this earth. For Job, riches was his children. For Job, riches was a great relationship with his wife. It was the health and the strength of his body. For Job, the richest was the thousands flocks that he owned and the great reputation that Job enjoyed. And when the riches were gone, when the children were gone, when his health was gone and all happened around the same time that Job instead of holding on to those things that were gone he held on to the righteousness and he kept on holding on to the righteousness. Meaning he was holding on to who he was. He wasn't trying to hold on to something he did, he had, or what people thought of him and what kind of a place he occupied on the most richest man in Middle East at the time. He was holding on to something that would matter when he would be dead and he was holding on to something that would matter when he was rich or when he was poor. And that is righteousness. When the spotlight is gone off of you, when you're no longer the cream of the crop when you're no longer on the top, if your identity is not anchored in righteousness but in riches, in fame, in the great possessions, in your health when it leaves it will take your identity and your life becomes vulnerable to the demonic intrusion. King Saul is a prime example of that. King Saul from the beginning struggled with his identity. He didn't know who he was. Though he was good looking, he was taller than anyone else. He was so handsome. The Bible says there was no one like him in Israel. He was the Mr. Olympian of that day. He was the Mr. Handsome of that day. But he was more insecure than there was anybody, probably more insecure than any girl in Israel at that time. When it was this day of inauguration, the Bible says King Saul was hiding behind baggage. So handsome, so tall, he had to hide behind baggage. And when he became a king, the Bible says that when the time came to make decisions he was so crippled by the opinions of people that he would disobey God and his mentor and his prophet just to please few people. He was so insecure. He had the position, he had the looks, he had the fame, he had everything but he wasn't holding on to who he was in God. So he ended up holding on to the position, holding on to the fame, holding on to his other things and those things were not providing that security to him because he still felt empty to that point until his own son-in-law started to rise up. His own son-in-law started to steal the show and take the spotlight. He started to win more wars and things were working so good for him and this is where Saul reached the peak of holding on to the extra things where the Bible says the stressing spirit came upon Saul. He became oppressed by demons by the result of holding on to things that were not his identity. And he chased David most of his life and he became so possessed by demons that he actually ended up killing priests, talking to witches and ended his life by suicide. A king who had a destiny but who was ruled by fear, ruled by anxiety and the reason why is that when David started rising up instead of saying what David said, if it's the will of God to put someone else as a king let God's will be done, I'm here to serve and the only confident people can do that. Only secure people in God can from the last supper get up from the table, take the towel and come to the disciples feet that were dirty, get on the knees and say may I wash your feet. People who are insecure will die before they do that because when you are confident in who you are in Christ whether you drive a Mercedes or you took a transit to church yes it feels different but inside you're the same whether you wear an expensive clothes that you won't tell the price because people will get offended by that or you had to literally go to Goodwill and ask for a discount of the clothes but on inside you're the same on inside you're no different whether you're the healthiest or honestly you feel sickness in your body and you feel faint in your body but on inside you're like Job I know who I am and I will never let it go of that.
