My Redeemer Lives [Job 19]
25
"As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.
26
"Even after my skin is destroyed,
Yet from my flesh I shall see God;
I have noticed over the years that God uses some of my darkest moments to shine His bright light of truth into my mind and heart. Job had one of those moments of clarity at the end of chapter 19 following another bleak verbal painting of various shades of black and grays. Then, we read the words above that seem to come out of nowhere. These words splash light and bright color onto the verbal canvas and have an even greater impact because of the contrasting black background.
There is more to this story. In Job's day, there was the concept of a kinsman-redeemer. This was the closest relative who could step in and resolve a difficult situation. For example, if property had to be sold, the kinsman-redeemer could buy it back or if a widow was left behind the kinsman-redeemer could marry her (Ruth 4:1-8) etc.. Job looked to God to be his kinsman-redeemer at a point when there was no one else to right the wrongs.
Job wasn't aware that his words would ring true not only for him by the end of this story, but through the thousands of years as we now see that Jesus became our kinsman-redeemer and we know that He lives and "at the last He will take His stand on the earth!"
We praise You, God, that You are our kinsman-redeemer through Jesus. Cause us to walk in the truth that You will right the wrongs in our lives and give us a hope and a future in the midst of whatever black circumstances we may have.

I think people should read books, but instead of reading for entertainment and pleasure, most people should read to learn something new. One of the best ways at

to learn something new is to read a book. Even if you do not understand all the words, you can atleast benefit from the pictures.

Hello. Bonuses are a very nice gift when you start playing in a casino. I only play in casinos that offer different bonuses all the time. Here is a page that lists the casinos with the biggest bonuses on the internet:

Choosing the best headset radio depends on your specific needs and requirements. If you are looking for a durable, high-quality device that delivers crystal-clear sound even in noisy environments, then Motorola's Talkabout T460 is an excellent choice.
