GOD HAS BEEN SO GOOD!

Job 1:20-21 – Devotional

Job 1:20-21

“At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: ‘Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.’”

Over the years I have come to appreciate the book of Job. It is amazing that this very righteous man could lose all of his wealth, most of his servants, and worst of all, his ten children. Having lost two daughters and a wife, I know something of the heartache that must have seized him.

It brings us to consider what is important in life. We know that the things of this world, even the people of this world, will pass away, but there is a glorious eternity waiting for all who will receive Jesus Christ as personal Savior.

It is not what we do that merits that wonderful home in glory that is waiting for us. It is only by the precious atoning blood of Jesus that we have the confident assurance that our name is written down in glory.

Job could look beyond the horrible losses in his life and see that God is good. Some people wait for health or wealth in order to praise the Lord. Job could not have known what was going on in heaven between God and Satan that resulted in his pain. The one thing he did know: “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.” I want that kind of faith!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

LOOKING BEYOND!

Job 19:25-27 – Devotional

Job 19:25-27

“I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see Him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!”

Many times it seems that people (me included) have a preoccupation with holding on to this life. It does not matter how much pain or how many trials we encounter, we act as if this vale of tears is the only thing that matters to us.

In the midst of his suffering and misery, Job was surrounded by men who had come to comfort him. A fat lot of comfort they afforded him. They erroneously concluded that if he was suffering the calamities that had befallen him, it must be the result of some secret sin in his life. His “friends” made it their goal to try and break through and have him confess his terrible secret sin.

Here in the middle of the book that bears his name, Job gives us words of confident assurance. It would be well for us to read these words in Job 19 on a regular basis and apply them to our own life.

As the Apostle Paul wrote in the first chapter of Philippians, it would be far better for him to be in heaven with Christ than to remain here on earth. It gave him the desire to live what time he had here on earth serving others by showing forth the spirit of the Lord. I desire to have that same purpose in my own life. If I remain alive, it is to serve Christ. If I die, it is to be with Christ. Either way, Christ is the focus of my life.

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!

OUR REDEEMER LIVES!

Job 19:26 – Devotional

Job 19:26

“I know that my Redeemer lives and that in the Last Day He shall stand upon the earth.”

I can recall a song by Alan Jackson that we used to sing. It went something like this: “I serve a risen Savior He’s in the world today! I know that He is living, no matter what men may say!”

I am reminded that each of us has a choice to make. We either accept the claims of the gospel and receive eternal life, or deny the good news of the Gospel and face an eternity of agony and separation. To me that is a “no brainer” but there are many who choose to reject Christ as their Savior.

I once was witnessing to a man who flagrantly said he did not want to go to heaven because he wanted to be having a party with all of his friends in hell. It make me shudder then and still does today.

If ever there will be a lonely place, it will be hell. Multitudes will be there but it is a place of utter aloneness and agony. A single drop of water will seem to be the most precious commodity, but it will be denied. The choice to reject Jesus Christ as our personal Savior comes with a tragic cost. OUR REDEEMER LIVES! Choose Him while the door is open!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

MY REDEEMER LIVES!

Job 19:25 – Devotional

Job 19:25

“I know that my Redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand on the earth.”

Yesterday I read a report of a Christian pastor in India who was chained in the center of a busy intersection and all through the day in the blistering heat of the tropical sun he was beaten, kicked, and ridiculed for his faith in Christ. Only by the grace of God did he survive the ordeal.

His experience has been repeated countless times across the centuries. Many times It is through suffering for Christ that the reality of the gospel penetrates the bitter heart of the persecutor or persecutors.

The book of Job is a wonderful study in how the suffering servant of Christ can endure horrible afflictions with total trust in the trustfulness of the Lord. Even when it appears that He is not near, the Word of God assures us that He is always beside us.

Regardless of what you may happen to be going through now or in the coming days, be assured dear heart that our Redeemer lives and not only that, He is with us in every trial we encounter. Praise His blessed name!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
