God Our Redeemer In Control
Job agonises over his situation.
His three friends explain that he
must be suffering because of
some terrible sin he committed.
They try to persuade Job to repent
of his sin. When Job argues that he
hasn’t sinned enough to deserve
such suffering his friends respond
with even harsher accusations.
Dear Lord, help us from the
painful experience of Job how to
be a true friend & not be careless
basing on wrong assumptions.
Instead help us be empathetic,
be careful of what we say, and
Be An Encouraging Comforter.
Lord, whilst we sometime cannot
understand troubles that befall us
we know U have awesome power,
and U are In Control of situation.
Help us never doubt U but have
the unwavering faith like Job
that Our Redeemer Lives. Amen.
Lord, we’ll Be Comforting Friend:
Then Job spoke: I have heard
all this before. What miserable
comforters you are! Won’t u ever
stop your flow of foolish words?
I could say the same things if
you were in my place. I could
spout off criticisms against you
…but that not what I would do.
I would speak in a way that
helps you. I would try to take
away your grief (Job 16:1-5).
Lord, help me learn from the
painful experience of Job not
to sermonise, accuse, criticise,
or even talk for sake of talking to
someone who is in pain and grief.
But Instead to put ourselves
in the other person’s place,
offer help and encouragement,
thereby Be A Comforter. Amen.
Lord, we put our Trust in You:
Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
The truth remains that the light
of the wicked will be snuffed out.
They walk into a net. A noose
tightens around them (J18:1-10).
Then Job spoke again: How long
will you torture me? You are trying
to use my humiliation as evidence
of my sin (J19:1-5). For I know that
my Redeemer Lives, and He shall
stand at last on the earth; My flesh
may be destroyed, yet from this
body I Will See God (J19:25-26)
Lord, whilst sometimes just like
Job, we couldn’t explain troubles,
we will not forget You God. And
whatever happens, we like Job,
Trust You God Is In Control,
Trust You will never forsake us &
Trust You God in Your kairos time will come as a redeemer. Amen.
Lord I know You rescued my soul
Your blood has covered my sin
I believe, I believe.
My shame You’ve taken away
My pain is healed in Your name
I believe, I believe.
I’ll raise a banner
My Lord Has conquered the grave.
My Redeemer Lives (x2)
My Redeemer Lives (x2).
You lift my burdens; I’ll rise with You
I’m dancing on this mountain top
To see Your kingdom come.
My Redeemer Lives…. Amen!!
