Let's settle into a quiet(ish) spot and dig in!
At one point, I found that Job rejoiced,
"But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives and He will stand on the Earth at last."
Job 19:25
His faith had been revealed to him. He was looking forward to the redemption that we sometimes find commonplace. Job looked forward to that redemption so much that it dwarfed the major chaos going on in his life at the time.
Peering at your salvation does that. It's the surest way to bring perspective into our lives.
Dwell on your salvation from eternal punishment and separation from God
and suddenly, the little earthly details are so very small again.
Job knew what to celebrate - that His Redeemer lives!
Is this what I celebrate today? Is it truly?? Or do I celebrate obedient children, a compliment or a nice outfit? When Jesus paid my debt of sin and satisfied God's justice, He gave me something to cherish and celebrate for all time.
Job knew that Jesus, the kinsman redeemer, did not forsake him when all others had.
Oh, the peace that comes from knowing that Jesus does not forsake me! It renders my spirit unshakable!
Friends, delve a little deeper into the Bible every day. God is always faithful to teach us through it.
