I know

I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth.

- Job 19:25

 

Let’s face it, we have all been through a lot.

We have suffered job loss, horrible health issues, deaths of family and close friends, simply inexplicable terrible things happening to really good people.

And we ask why.

I had an acquaintance say to me that there is no way that my God is as amazing as I say He is, and yet He “allows” me to suffer.

That acquaintance could not be more wrong.

I don’t think that my suffering is any less than that of my friends and family, it is certainly way less than that of Job and Jesus.

But I do know that my Redeemer lives – oh yeah – song reference!

Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?

And who told the ocean, you can only come this far?

And who showed the moon where to hide 'til evening?

Whose words alone can catch a falling star?

Well, I know my Redeemer lives

I know my Redeemer lives

All of creation testifies

This life within me cries

I know my Redeemer lives, yeah

The very same God that spins things in orbit

Runs to the weary, the worn and the weak

And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken

They conquered death to bring me victory

Now, I know my Redeemer lives

I know my Redeemer lives

Let all creation testify

Let this life within me cry

I know my Redeemer

He lives to take away my shame

And He lives forever, I'll proclaim

That the payment for my sin

Was the precious life He gave

But now He's alive and

There's an empty grave...

And I know my Redeemer lives

I know my Redeemer lives

Let all creation testify

Let this life within me cry

I know my Redeemer lives

Listen hard to that song (Nicole C Mullen is the artist).

When you think that you have been forgotten, remember that Jesus, the redeemer is there for you, picking up your tired worn self.

He holds us when we are broken, He did for us, and He lives.

Maybe you don’t have that kind of faith, but I do.

I know that no matter what hurt I am facing, my Redeemer lives for me.
