Gems worth reading

"For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth."
(Job 19:25)
Job's life was full of unimaginable pain. He lost everything that men count dear: his family, his health, and his wealth. His friends misunderstood all that was going on. But amidst all the trials and misunderstandings, one bright hope lifted Job above his circumstances - one day, his Redeemer would appear. This certainty kept Job from slipping beneath the waves: He shall appear! Centuries have past since Job's day, but the message of hope remains. Amidst all our trials, the blessed hope of the coming of the Lord keeps us pressing on. He has said,
"I will come again, and receive you unto
Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
(John 14:3)
