“But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last.

And after my body has decayed,

yet in my body I will see God!19:26 Or without my body I will see God. The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain.

27I will see him for myself.

Yes, I will see him with my own eyes.

I am overwhelmed at the thought!

Evil people are spared in times of calamity and are allowed to escape disaster. 31No one criticizes them openly or pays them back for what they have done.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to seek you as my strength and rely on you for my future. I so look forward to eternity with you but till then, help me to do your will here. Keep me from envy of others and secure in your plan for me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
