Job 19:13-29

Job Foresees the Resurrection

We know Job endured the most horrific experiences anyone could imagine when his family and all of his possessions were destroyed. Following that, he became ill and suffered beyond what we can imagine physically, all because he was a devoted man of God. He was exceedingly tested.

This scripture addresses perhaps the feeling of his heart. In addition, it appears that through especial inspiration of the Holy Spirit he spoke prophetically. “”I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God..” (Job 19:26)

Though incredibly miserable, Job stood firm in his faith and in turn was used by the Lord to predict his coming in glory to redeem the world.

How easily we are disenchanted with our God when life’s trials wound us, and people beat us down with words. Perhaps we should consider taking example from Job. He was attacked from every angle. Everything on this earth he held dear was taken from him including his health, yet he continued to walk with the Father and be used by him

.

Remember: Suffering produces perseverance. The definition of perseverance is this: steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. 

Persevere! The Lord knows your trials, and He is with you.
