Writing Job 19
Good morning.
Alone…
“He has put my brothers far from me, and those who knew me are wholly estranged from me. My relatives have failed me, my close friends have forgotten me. The guests in my house and my maidservants count me as a stranger; I have become a foreigner in their eyes. I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer; I must plead with him with my mouth for mercy. My breath is strange to my wife, and I am a stench to the children of my own mother. All my intimate friends abhor me, and those whom I loved have turned against me.”
Job 19:13-19
Job felt alone here on this earth. Sometimes we feel this way because it is true, and sometimes we feel this way because we are in despair. No matter the reason, Job, a righteous man, had one hope.
“For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me!”
Job 19:25-27
I pray that next time I find myself in despair, I will remember this!!
God is so Good!!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!
