“I know that my Redeemer lives,
And that in the end he will stand upon the earth.” (Job 19:25)
I know for most of us, the hardships of Job are well known. He lost absolutely everything in his life except for his wife, his three friends, and his relationship with God.
What I have always found so pivotal in Job’s story is the staunchness of his relationship with God. He knew that his God, his Redeemer, was very much a part of his life and nothing would come become between him and God.
He could not fully understand why all the things that did happen to him, but his faith and singularity of purpose in his relationship with God allowed him to know that his Redeer, in fact, does live, and he will stand upon the earth in relationship with him.
Father, may I know beyond all doubt that you are my Redeemer and the Lord of my life. May I stand firm and resolve to not waiver in my devotion to you amidst the difficulties and challenges of my life.
