DAY 19
God's Truth
Job 33:28
He redeemed my soul from going down to the pit, and I will live to enjoy the light.
Attitude Adjustment
Isn't this just a fabulous verse! The more I read it, considering each Word, the more overwhelmed I become by God and His never-changing truth.
Today's verse is taken from Job, a man that surely experienced the despair of life, losing his wife, children, and then being told by his friends that it was his fault to begin with. And what does Job say is God's truth about all that...
He redeemed!
What did He redeem?
His soul!
Where did He redeem it from?
Going down to the pit!
And what was the result?
He lived to enjoy the light!
Notice, it wasn't just that he lived, but that he lived with a purpose--to enjoy the light. Now if God can do that for Job, what can our God do for us? What pit is so bad that God can't redeem us from it? What purpose is so beyond His help? But we have to remember, that once we are redeemed, it is so that we may enjoy the light of the world, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Be redeemed, my friend. Be redeemed from the pit to enjoy the light. Listen to this hymn, There is a Fountain, and let the words and music minister to your heart.
There is a fountain filled with bloodHeavenly Father, redeem us from our pits, whatever they may be, no matter how big or small, for the only and only purpose you have in store--that we may enjoy the Light. In the precious name of Jesus, Amen and Amen!
drawn from Immanuel's veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he
Wash all my sins away
Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are saved, to sin no more
For since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply
Redeeming love has been my theme
and shall be till I die
When this poor lisping,
stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing thy power to save
What is the Journey of Truth?

That is my favourite hymn of all time. And I think the music is by one of my favourite groups, too! I just so wish they hadn't left out the last verse about the stammering tongue. What a great message of hope!
Such a precious post, beautiful hymn.
very lovely!
