I Know That My Redeemer LivesJob 19:23-29 NKJV [23] “Oh, that my words were written! Oh, that they were inscribed in a book! [24] That they were engraved on a rock With an iron pen and lead, forever! [25] For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth; [26] And after my skin is destroyed, this I know, That in my flesh I shall see God, [27] Whom I shall see for myself, And my eyes shall behold, and not another. How my heart yearns within me! [28] If you should say, ‘How shall we persecute him?’— Since the root of the matter is found in me, [29] Be afraid of the sword for yourselves; For wrath brings the punishment of the sword, That you may know there is a judgment.” Job’s declaration of faith rises from one of the darkest moments in the Word. He is misunderstood by friends, weakened in the body, and worn down by suffering. Yet, instead of surrendering to despair, Job anchors his soul in a powerful certainty: his Redeemer lives. Job longs for his words to be permanently recorded—not to defend his reputation, but to testify to a truth that would outlast his pain. Though his body is failing and his future uncertain, he believes that God will ultimately stand for him. This confidence reaches beyond death itself. Job trusts that even after his flesh is destroyed, he will see God with his own eyes. This is not the denial of suffering; it is faith that transcends it. Job teaches us that hope does not require answers—only assurance. Human judgment may wound us, and circumstances may misrepresent us, but God remains the final Judge and faithful redeemer.When everything else fades, this truth remains: the Redeemer lives, and He has the final say. What anchors your faith when your situation does not make sense? Can you trust God’s redemption even when you do not see immediate vindication? You may wish to pray with me: When my strength fails, Lord , remind me that you live, Remind me that you see, and that you will redeem. May your hope be in Him alone. In Jesus Name. My Redeemer lives, and my story is not finished. Good morning.
