I know my Redeemer lives.......

"Oh, that my words were recorded,
that they were written on a scroll,
that they were inscribed with an iron tool on lead,
or engraved in rock forever!
I know that my redeemer lives,
and that in the end he will stand on the earth.

And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet in my flesh I will see God;
I myself will see him
with my own eyes—I, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me!  Job 19:23 - 27

What a wonderful blessing this is to read.  Job, who went through hell and back, praised God because he knew his redeemer lives.  This is amazing when you consider the fact that Job is in the Old Testament.    In the reading plan I have started Job falls in day 4 after the tower of Babel event.  There is no promise to Abraham, no Israel, and no exile and then return, yet Job know his Redeemer lives. 

How wonderful to be so sure that God lives when you don’t have all the proof found in scripture. 

Another blessing is the reminder that someday we will all see God.  Someday the troubles of this world will fall away.  So whatever you are going through, you can know that someday all will be good.  It all goes back to my favorite verse in the New Testament:

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”  Revelation 21: 3 – 4.

Whatever you are going through, remember, some day we will all rejoice and shed no more tears, have no more worries and most importantly, that our Redeemer lives.
