Job 17-20, Truth vs Feelings

 “But I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the end he will stand on the dust.  Even after my skin has been destroyed, yet I will see God in my flesh.  I will see him myself; my eyes will look at him, and not as a stranger.  My heart longs within me.”

‭‭Job‬ ‭19‬:‭25‬-‭27‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

The confidence that Job has that he will see his Redeemer even after he dies is encouraging.  It is easy to despair of all the truth you know when you are in the midst of a trial, yet that doesn’t change God or who He is.

Lord help me to rest in You when trials come.  Allow your eternal truth, the Word of God, to be the thing that I believe, rather than the feelings that fade and change.
