Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Beyond what these words originally conveyed in Job's day, we know today that our Redeemer will return as the Rider on the white horse in triumph and give us God's victory forever (Revelation 19:11-16). Hallelujah, what a day! Every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10-11). Then the world truly WILL KNOW that Jesus Christ, our Savior, brother, and friend, is Lord of all! As the messenger of God dressed in white promised Jesus' amazed disciples at his glorious ascension (Acts 1:9-10):
"This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."
Yes! We know that our Redeemer lives and will stand upon the earth and take us home with him!

My Prayer...

Conquering King, Immortal God, I look forward to the day of your ultimate triumph in our world. Until that day, I pray that your Kingdom may be reflected in my life, my family, and my ministry to others. Through the Rider on the white horse that is coming, I confidently pray. Amen.

Trusting
Article by Bill Brant
You believe… are you ready to trust? Trusting is a level higher than believing. Trusting God means that we not only believe in Him but that we know without a doubt that he will do what he says and will do it with our best interest at heart.
