Job 18-21 Amazing Insight Surely Given By God

Despite the horrible attempts of his friends to get Job to confess to sins that did not exist in his life, Job looks to God.  He still simply wants a chance to state his case.  Yet God still withholds His answer as He proves to Satan that Job is a righteous man even when God withholds His blessings.

 

Job again shows amazing insight and faith in 19:25-27.  “I know that my Defender lives, and in the end He will stand upon the earth.  Even after my skin has been destroyed, in my flesh I WILL see God.  I will see Him MYSELF.  I will see Him with my very own eyes.  How my heart wants that to happen!”

 

Amazing, amazing!

 

Father, Job didn’t yet know about Jesus Christ or resurrection, yet it’s clear that You had revealed some of Your plan to him at some point.  Thank You for giving me a Defender as well.  I’m glad I know what Job knew, and how my heart wants that to happen, too!

 

Your Brother In Christ,
