Day 24

Job 19-21.  “Job’s Pillar of Hope”

At this point Job has no idea what had transpired in respect to God and Satan’s discussion about allowing the testing of “righteous Job.”  Although he feels as though God’s hand is against him (which truly was not the case), he clearly believed God was fully on his side.
Job’s trust in God remained faithful.  Job is a pillar of hope for us as we go through life and life’s experiences.  God was obviously the pillar of hope for Job.
“I know that my Redeemer lives” (19:25).  Job verbally states his faith in One who can save him.  He proclaims that this One is alive.  He proclaims God is concerned with him, and is his.
Job goes on to declare not just the eternal nature of God, but the eternal aspect of man’s existence (vv. 25-27).  Job makes statements about the resurrection of man long before the idea was introduced in many of the more popular portions of Scripture.
The impression Job had of God and His abilities shaped his faith.  Nothing was impossible for his Redeemer.
