WFW: Job 19:25


A friend tells me when she's in the middle of a stressful situation, she assures herself, "This, too, shall pass." I also have a go-to 'mantra,' 'affirmation statement,' 'comfort food' sort of verse. This is it. Job 19:25-27:



25I know that my Redeemerc lives,
and that in the end he will stand upon the earth.d
26And after my skin has been destroyed,
yete inf my flesh I will see God;
27I myself will see him
with my own eyes—I, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me!
Not only have these verses seen me through many a trial, it has also proven to me the reality of the presence of God. Right now I see with my own eyes God at work, God producing fruit, God doing mighty things in my church, my family, and especially my children's lives. My heart has yearned to see Him, and now my heart is satisfied. I praise Him with my whole being.

This is one of my all-time favorite verses because of the HOPE it gives! I KNOW . . . . said with such quiet conviction. And in the end, it's all that matters!
