Seeing
Job had everything and was righteous. He lost it all, but never lost sight of what is most important: GOD.
He said I know my Redeemer lives and my eyes will see him.
Job didn’t need to see the reasons for it; he needed to see GOD.
“But I know that my Redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand upon the earth.”
Shepherd’s Note
Job is Scripture’s great witness that a man can lose everything and refuse to curse GOD, not because he understood, but because he knew his Redeemer. “I know that my redeemer lives” is said from the ash heap, before any restoration, with no explanation given or offered. Job needed to see GOD, and that need, held onto in the dark, carried him further than an explanation ever could have.
