Living Redeemer
Job 19:25
“I know that my Redeemer lives and that in the end he will stand upon the earth.”
Poor Job, here he is, after the loss of his fortune, family and health, listening to his “friends” and wife who tell him to confess to his sin, and Job stands righteous. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, Job proclaims the greatness of God. Though racked by pain and anguish, Job still loves God and walks in God’s light.
How many times in our lives have we wondered if God is with us? When tragedy strikes, do we ask about God’s presence? When that dreaded diagnosis is given, do we proclaim the greatness of God or do we say “Why me”? Maybe we can learn much from Job.
You see, we serve a living God, one that never leaves us, even though we may leave God. Jesus has promised to be with us always, and that promise has never been broken. Just because we feel alone, doesn’t mean we are alone. For God does not abandon, but redeems.
The challenge to you, let the first words of your day be “I KNOW that my Redeemer lives”, and then live in that knowledge.
Amen
