23 “Oh, that my words were recorded,
that they were written on a scroll,
24 that they were inscribed with an iron tool on lead,
or engraved in rock forever!
25 I know that my redeemer lives,
and that in the end he will stand on the earth.
26 And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet in my flesh I will see God;
27 I myself will see him
with my own eyes—I, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me! Job 19:23-27
Do you ever wonder what it will be like to see God? I will sometimes sit and try to imagine what my reaction will be, or if I will be able to look upon Him. There are a lot of people who don't believe in Him or don't think He will be back. How awful would your life be if you had no hope there was a next life after this one. Hope is what we rely on to see Him again. When I see Job having everything ripped aways from his life, he still focused on the fact that his Redeemer lives. I know that my Redeemer lives and he lived so I can see Him again. Maybe our focus should be more on the hope of seeing Him again, than any of our current circumstances. These daily troubles are just a breath of wind that is here for a fleeting moment, but God is eternal and we can have hope that we can be eternally seeing and living with Him.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
