"Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!That with an iron stylus and lead They were engraved in the rock forever As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth". - Job 19:23-25
Dear Friends,
Most of us are familiar with the story of Job. Job a man who pursued righteousness and fled from evil. In so doing he captured the attention of the enemy. The enemy presented himself before God seeking an opportunity to lay traps for Job in an attempt to turn him away from God. However, God set boundaries. The enemy could only push so far.
God still sets boundaries. There is no free for all on the life of a Christian. The enemy cannot attack at will. He has to get permission from God. In that permission limits are set. Our souls are secure in Christ. They are not up for negotiation. Tests present themselves for the purpose of producing testimonies. God has already given us the study guide to get us ready. His Word is Our Guide.

Job wanted his story told. His desire was that his words would be written in a book. He wanted his testimony engraved in iron and lead in a rock. God answers Job's request for his story is etched in scripture. Engraved in the Rock that is Christ, the Word. His story, the bottom line: "I know that my Redeemer lives..." Job was confident in the One who has the power to save, heal, deliver and restore and he was not disappointed. He had made up his mind to wait all the day of his appointed time for the change to come, for the crooked to be made straight.
What's your story? Do you know that Your Redeemer lives? Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy... (Psalms 107:2)
Your story? "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so."

Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
