My Redeemer Lives!

For I know that my Redeemer lives and at last He will stand upon the earth (Job 19:25)

Meditation- Today’s Mass Reading is from the Book of Job. You know Job, he was tested and tried in every way but he stayed faithful even in the worst of circumstances and loss. Even as his wife told him to curse God and die! (Job 2:9). Even as friends kept stopping by with all kinds of questionable advice. And even God does not really give poor Job an answer but in Job 38 shows His Omnipotence as the One who tells the sun where to stand and the sea that it can only go so far! And that is the point isn’t it? We may never have all the answers in this life in our suffering but we do know the One who is in control and who always works all things for our good! (Romans 8:28). Yes Lord, You live and because You live we can face today and tomorrow and everything in between and we know You will have the final Word in our lives and for all time as You bring the new Heavens and the new Earth! (Revelations 21) Fiat!

Prayer- O Lord we praise You we thank You and we bless You because You are God Alone and You remain on the Throne even in our chaos. Reign in our hearts and reign in all the Earth!
