Bible Verse of The Day – 5-29-24

Job 19:25 (NKJV) 25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth;

Life can sometimes be difficult.

It can deal us some very harsh blows for which we have no explanation or understanding.

This may often cause us to question God, or to become angry that we are on the receiving end of such things.

But as we mature in our walk with God, we will find ourselves questioning Him less, and trusting Him more.

On a personal level, I have experienced this myself.

I have walked through seasons of extreme famine and financial hardship.

I watched my mother battle cancer and then die at the age of just 46 after being eaten away by the disease that claimed her life.

I have experienced betrayal at the hands of someone that I had taken under my wing and helped through some very tough situations.

And I have learned that this is just how life goes. We all deal with things such as this, and no one is exempt.

But as I have looked back on these things, I have been able to see God’s hand in each of them.

I have witnessed Him draw a wayward person back to Him within hours of them dying.

I have seen His hand of provision during times of dire need.

I have learned how to forgive when everything in my flesh wanted quite the opposite.

And I have seen His sovereignty as I have re-traced the steps of my years, seeing Him put puzzle pieces together in ways that man could never accomplish, to bring me to the exact place that I am in right now.

So, in all of this, I have learned, as Job did, that even during my worst calamity, my Redeemer lives.

He sets up kings, and He removes kings. He gives, and He takes away.

He walks me through my darkest hour, and He brings peace in the middle of the greatest storms.

And in that, despite facing great storms from time to time, I find my peace and my solace.

May you find yours in Him also.
