This evening I continued on into Job. It really is an uplifting book isn't it? In the midst of Job's mourning and sorrow, I love this glimmer of hope recorded in chapter 19. This is ultimately the answer to the question I posed yesterday - how can people worship in the midst of tragedy, death, and destruction. Here's Job's insight:
But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last. And after my body has decayed yet in my body I will see God! I will see him for myself. Yes, I will see him with my own eyes. I am overwhelmed at the thought."
Interesting discussion about a living redeemer seeing as how Jesus has not been born yet...
