I really enjoy the Messianic prophecies in Job. Maybe it's because of their stark contrast to all the doom and gloom, but I just think it is fantastic that we see so many Messianic prophecies between the protoevangelion in Genesis 3 and the Abrahamic covenant in Genesis 12. Jesus is the central theme of all of Scripture, and it is so sweet to find Him every morning:
16:19 Even now my witness is in heaven.My advocate is there on high.20 My friends scorn me,but I pour out my tears to God.21 I need someone to mediate between God and me,as a person mediates between friends.22 For soon I must go down that roadfrom which I will never return.
Job 18:5-21 reminds me of Psalm 1.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I praise you because you are the same yesterday, today, and forever - you are the unchanging, "I AM"! Lord Jesus, thank you for being my mediator to the Father; you are my friend. Thank you for giving me hope and assurance of salvation beyond the grave. Lord, I pray that you will use me to show others that Jesus is the mediator between God and man. I pray this in His mighty name. Amen.
