Blood Soaked Diamond


Job 17-22

Job carries the day today.  If you have read this passage you realize the torrent of torment Jobs friends are lashing across his soul.  

But deep within Job’s being lies a truth that nothing can tear out.  It’s deeper than his anguish of losing all his children.  It’s deeper than losing his health.  It’s deeper than his wife turning from him.  It’s deeper than his friend’s accusations of evil.  It’s even deeper than his own understanding. 

His inner being is ripped bloody open and what do we find?

“And as for me, I know that
             my Redeemer lives,
And at the last He will take His
             stand on the earth.
Even after my skin is
              destroyed,
Yet from my flesh I shall
              see God” 19:25-26

Blood soaked and horror filled but at the core the most sparkling diamond of faith.
