It Is Written, Therefore It Shall Be!

                                          Job 19:25
                         "For I know that my Redeemer liveth,
                               and that he shall stand at the
                                     day upon the earth"

        Job thinks that his life is coming to an end and desires some hope with which to sustain himself.  It is important to remember that at this time no portions of Scripture has been written down, so there was no way that Job could have know all that has been revealed to us about heaven. In Job's life time very little had been revealed about the resurrection of the body, so they rested in hope that their disembodied spirit would remain.  Job's usage of phrases like "the grave"and "keep me secret" reflect his desire for the time when his soul would be separated from his present affliction and would be vindicated by God from the accusations his friends were making.  At this time Job begins to trust in a physical resurrection of his body.  Job sought for one who would redress his wrongs and avenge his injuries.
       Job acknowledges that God alone can be is 'Redeemer."  Job recognized fully that he was serving the living God.  He knew that God was alive and concerned with his individual life.  My friends, that is "trust, and hope" in things that are believed, and "faith" in the things not seen.  God 's word has been written down for us. God loves us so much he made a road map, and by His Grace and the blood of "Jesus Christ" He gave us eternal life with Him.  Turn to Christ and let Him lead your path; and if you lose sight of Him, "Just look for His footsteps in front of you."   Amen!!
