Your Redeemer Lives

Your Redeemer Lives

“For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the Earth.”
  Job 19:25

Bad days are hard. A string of bad days can be overwhelming.

Job faced a string of bad days—worse than you can imagine.
 
The Book of Job appears on the surface to be a book of suffering, but on closer look, it’s perhaps the greatest book of redemption and healing ever written. By the end of the book, not only does Job receive double for all his trouble, he also receives no less than 10 levels of healing.

In the middle of his affliction, however, he makes one of the boldest, brightest declarations of faith in his Redeemer ever written— For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the Earth.

No matter how many bad days you have faced recently, God invites you to take hold of the reality that Christ is your Redeemer and that he will manifest his presence again.

And that is a promise.

Loving Father, I declare today, I know my Redeemer lives! In Jesus name.
