I know that my Savior lives, and at last He will stand on the earth.
—Job 19:25
Thoughts on today’s verse…
Beyond these words originally spoken in the days of Job, we know today that our Savior will return in triumph as a rider on a white horse and give us God’s victory forever (Revelation 19:11-16). Hallelujah, what a day! Every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10-11). Then the world will truly know that Jesus Christ, our Savior, Brother and Friend, is Lord of all! As the white-robed angel of God promised the astonished disciples at Jesus’ glorious ascension into heaven (Acts 1:9-10):
“This same Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will return in the same manner in which you have seen him go into heaven.”
Yes! We know that our Savior lives and that He will stand upon the earth and take us home with Him!
My prayer…
Victorious King, Immortal Lord, I await the day of Your final victory in our world. Until that day, I pray that Your kingdom will be reflected in my life, my family, and my ministry to others. I pray confidently for the one who is coming through the rider on the white horse. Amen.
