We Need Our Redeemer

Where then is my hope?
As for my hope, who can see it?
Will they go down to the gates of Sheol?
Shall we have rest together in the dust?”
  -- Job 17:15-16

Job was in a bad way, having lost his children, many servants, all of his livestock, and his health. However, Job was not looking forward to some final party at the gates of Hell. In a few minutes of Job time, the man would find his hope when speaking of his living Redeemer. (Job 19:25) In the Psalms the people sang of their Redeemer:

Then they remembered that God was their rock,
And the Most High God their Redeemer.  (78:35)

Indeed when we feel down it is to the Lord our Redeemer we must turn our thoughts. We will of course need good help in this as a downward path tends to continue down without some of that assistance in turning around. A maelstrom of the mind does not reverse course except some mighty power work on it. Yes, we need our Redeemer, and as He Himself said, we can do nothing without Him. 

Praise the Lord God, the Almighty One for His Redeemer!
