Unshakable Faith

March 26 | Job 19:25

 “And I know my Redeemer lives, and at the last He will stand on the earth.” (Job 19:25)

Faith is hard to explain to unbelievers. They think it is blind, a hope in the unlikely future. Some think faith is a crutch week believers hold onto. They think it’s a pipe dream, a long shot, our inability to accept reality.

I’d rather be a dreamer about heaven than have a bleak outlook on life. Even if we’re wrong about God and heaven, dying with no afterlife would be a surprise. But at least our life was not miserable Unbelievers live a miserable life thinking there’s nothing when they die. What happens if they didn’t believe in God and His is the first face they see after life?

Job knew God was real, and that one day he would meet Him. He calls God the Redeemer, the one who buys Him back. God has bought you back from sin, shame, Held, and the grave.

Some preachers say, “Do you know that you know that you know…” It’s not good English, but the point is clear. We know beyond human knowledge that God is real and we will meet Him one day. We will be with Him in the end. But we don’t have to wait until then.

Action Step: Thank Jesus that He redeems your life. Do you have unshakable faith like Job? Do you know beyond any doubt Jesus is coming for you?

Lord Jesus, I know You have bought me back from all kinds of evil. Reassure my heart one more time that what I read in the Bible is not a dream or a fairytale. Help me to see that this story is my story.
