God's Word For Today

He Lives

Read Job 17:1 through 20:29

“I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth” (Job 19:25).

Job listened to the second speech by Bildad. He then replied to his friends, asking them how long he would be tormented him by their words. He presented a long list of what had happened to him, including being berated by his friends and losing his family and fortune. But after this discourse, he said he still held true to the belief in the Almighty God. Not only did Job believe in God’s existence, but Job believed that he would stand in God’s presence someday.

Regardless of the situations we encounter and the consequences we experience, we should still believe in the sovereignty of God. When we are in the middle of a difficult time and we don’t see an easy way out of our struggle, do we ask where God is instead of trusting Him in faith? When we have questions, we have to cry out to God and, with sheer faith, believe that whatever the outcome He will walk with us and see us through our valley.

Prayer Suggestion: Father, help me remember that You are there, no matter the circumstances.

My favourite hymn ever, it was also my aunts. The words speak for them self.


He Lives by Bill and Gloria Gaither

God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

And then one day, I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
And then, as death gives way to vict'ry,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
