"The Gospel of Job"


The past few weeks I have been working my way through the Book of Job during my morning devotions. I have been able to rediscover the great, yet simple faith of a man who suffered as few have. Take a look at some of the the classic passages from Job - from the heart of a man who, though he has many questions, is still trusting God as he is walking through the dark valleys of shadows.

13:15 "Though He slay me, yet will I hope in Him."
14:14 "If a man dies, will he live again?"
19:25 "I know that my Redeemer lives and that in the end He will stand upon the earth."
19:26,27 "And after my flesh has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see Him with my own eyes -- I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me."

Whatever we are going through, may we be able to see His hand in the trial and after the trial has finished. "Now my eyes have seen You" (42:5).
