Day 170: Job 19-23; Psalm 20
by Jonathan Merki on June 18th, 2024
Oh, that my words were recorded,    that they were written on a scroll,that they were inscribed with an iron tool on lead,    or engraved in rock forever!I know that my redeemer lives,    and that in the end he will stand on the earth.And after my skin has been destroyed,    yet in my flesh I will see God;I myself will see him    with my own eyes—I, and not another.    How my heart yearns within m...  Read More
