I know that God lives

“If only my words were written in a book— better yet, chiselled in stone! Still, I know that God lives—the One who gives me back my life— and eventually he’ll take his stand on earth. And I’ll see him—even though I get skinned alive!— see God myself, with my very own eyes. Oh, how I long for that day!

Job 19:25 MSG

This is a great moment in the book, Job has been arguing with his friends and he now turns to explain his reason for his confidence, he declares, “I know that God lives.” It is to God that he is willing to have his cause presented and to be judged because he knows that God is just and will rightly judge him.

This night and every night
grant to me light.
This night and every night
grant to me peace.
This night and every night
grant to me rest.
This night and every night
grant to me grace.
This night and every night
grant to me joy. Amen
