Job 19:25 – “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth”
Job’s hope throughout his trial is rooted in God’s Character and promises. Despite his discouragement, he consistently reminds himself of God’s justice and love. Job 19:25-27 is a powerful statement of Job’s hope in God.
God is Job’s ultimate redeemer. Regardless of how circumstances change in his life, God is the one who ultimately rescues him in the end. After the suffering and grief passes, God will still remain. This is the hope that Job holds on to.
We can learn something from Job. All of us will go through seasons of suffering and grief. When this happens, it is important that we cling to God’s hope and promises. Regardless of how long each season lasts, we know that God is the One who will ultimately redeem us in the end.
The promises of God will always remain because we know God is faithful to fulfill them (Hebrews 10:23). When everything is shaking around us, God will still be the solid Rock we can stand on.
And even if our suffering doesn’t end during our time on Earth, we have the hope of eternal life with God. We should always be looking forward to that moment when we will join Him in eternity.
Take some time to thank God for all He has done for you. If you’re in a difficult season, pray for your hope to be anchored in Him. Spend some time thinking about God’s promises. As you do, you’ll begin to see how God’s promises shape the way you live.
Job 19:25-27 is a profound declaration of Faith and hope in the midst of suffering. It is our unwavering belief in the Living Redeemer.
Amen.
