Daily Devotion: My Redeemer Liveth

Daily Devotion: My Redeemer Liveth - Job 19:25

For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth – Job 19:25

Something that escapes our notice is that the promise of the coming of the Lord was ancient even when Jesus was born. Many people had lost hope in a Savior from God. Like today, the people of Jesus’s day were skeptical and cynical. However, the Lord preserved as remnant who believed and looked for that day when the Redeemer would stand upon the earth.

As you encounter skeptics and unbelief today, answer those doubters with the simple testimony of Job. “I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth” (Job 19:25). We may die and our bodies may decompose, but one day we shall all see Him with our own eyes and wonder. Praise be to God!

It was because of sin that Jesus came to this earth. "... "For to be carnally minded is death..." The spiritual mind is the offspring of the work of the seed of the woman - Jesus. &

Daily Devotion: An Important Question

In one of the great Psalms of thanksgiving, the writer asked a most pertinent question. “What shall I render unto the Lord for all of His benefits toward me” (Psalm 116:12) ? We may observe two elements in this question. The psalmist acknowledges having received many benefits, or blessings, at the hand of the Lord. For the believer, to be the receiver of blessings from the Lord is a fact beyond question. That is one facet of a proper perception of reality. However, for the unbeliever, or even for the nominal believer, such things come in the course of nature, or as a matter of deserving them. But to fail to see that such benefits and blessings come from the Lord is to lose touch with reality. The other element of the question is that the writer expresses a sense of obligation to the Lord and reveals a desire to do something in response to the amazing goodness of God to him. It is the reflex of the godly heart to desire to do something in response to the perceived go
