#soap # Job 19 Tags: SOAP ## Title: Know What You Believe, Not Feel ## Scripture: (Job 19:25-27) “As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and that as the last he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God, whom I will see for myself, and whom my own eyes will behold, and not another. My heart grows faint within me.” (NET) ## Observation: Job is in the middle of a really difficult time. Everything that can go wrong has gone wrong in his life. However, he still sets his mind on what he knows and not on what he feels. It’s okay to experience hurt, loss, grief, and pain. These are normal human emotions that express the level of care you have toward something. We must be careful to pay attention to our emotions, but we must live according to what we know. Our emotions change, but what we know should not be so easily swayed. Job is saying that, even though things don’t make sense now, I still know God lives and I will see Him one day. ## Application: Keep your eyes firmly fixed on the Lord. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being a constant Rock in the quicksand of life.
