Job 19:25 (NKJV) 25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth;
Job was in the midst of misery.
His skin was diseased. His family was gone. His friends had deserted him. Even his wife insulted him.
As Job penned the words above, he was writing down all of his sorrows and making an account of all who despised him or who had left him.
His life was in shambles. He had been struck with boils all over his body. He had lost his children and all of his livestock. Nobody expected him to live through the ordeal.
But even as he wrote down all of his calamities, he penned those words, “I know that my Redeemer lives”.
What a testament to Job’s faith!
Many years ago, God showed me that despite so many people always talking about the patience of Job, it was his faith that was greater. And it was that faith that allowed him to be patient in his affliction and endure his terrible situation without giving up and cursing God.
Let’s have the faith of Job, even as we endure afflictions, looking to our Redeemer, who lives!
