I WILL SEE GOD!

                                                          I WILL SEE GOD!

Job 19:25-27  “But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and that 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!”  NLT

       Stop for a moment and let these wonderful words sink deep into your soul.  Can you say with absolute affirmation that they are true for you?  These truths are foundational to life.  They are the truths that I live by.

       I know that my Redeemer lives.  I know my sins are forgiven and I am on my way to heaven.  I know that my Lord is coming back to earth to take me home and make all things right on earth.  I know that I will see my Redeemer face-to-face.  I long with all my heart for that day to come soon.  I long to be with Him who died for me.  I live in Him and for Him.  He is the reason why I died to myself that I may live and why I live that I may die and go to be with Him.  There is nothing on earth that is going to keep me from seeing my Lord face-to-face.  He is my all-consuming passion and will be for as long as I live.

      When I see Him I will fall on my knees and worship Him.  I will sing to my heart’s content with the hosts of heaven my Savior’s praise.  I will let the thanksgiving of my heart gush out before Him.  I will linger at His feet and let His glory flood my soul.  Yes, I am on my way home and there is nothing on earth that is going to get in my way or stop me.  My Redeemer awaits me.

     What about you?  Can you join me in the longings of your heart?  If not, you can if you bow right now before the Lord and linger there until you have that peace and assurance that He can give.  Confess whatever you need to confess and don’t let anything get in your way.  There is nothing more important to do in your life today than this.

     “But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and that 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 with my own eyes.  I am overwhelmed at the thought!”
