Encouragement
The redemption of Israel has occurred! The Christ has died, suffered, and redeemed his people. He has brought about a foolish nation that walks by faith (Deu 32:21; Rom 4:3; 1Cr 1:23)!
"Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,Smitten of God, and afflicted."
"But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed."
"All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him."
"He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth."
"By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His generation, who considered That He was cut off out of the land of the living For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?"
"His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet He was with a rich man in His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was there any deceit in His mouth."
"But the LORD was pleased To crush Him,putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand."
"As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be satisfied; By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, As He will bear their iniquities."
"Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, And He will divide the booty with the strong; Because He poured out Himself to death, And was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors." -Isa 53:4-12
To those who are barren:
""Shout for joy, O barren one, you who have borne no child; Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not travailed; For the sons of the desolate one will be more numerous Than the sons of the married woman," says the LORD."
""Enlarge the place of your tent;Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not; Lengthen your cords And strengthen your pegs."
""For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left. And your descendants will possess nations And will resettle the desolate cities." -Isa 54:1-3
Make spiritual children: 1Ti 1:2; Tts 1:4; Mal 2:15
To those who are widowed:
""Fear not, for you will not be put to shame; And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced; But you will forget the shame of your youth, And the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more."
""For your husband is your Maker, Whose name is the LORD of hosts; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, Who is called the God of all the earth." -Isa 54:4-5
Rejoice in the Lord!

Job 19-20
Job 19
Job is still trying to make his point - that even if he has erred, his err is within him, and all the external things happening to him are from God. It appears to Job, that all that has happened to him is by God's very hand, that his hand is set against Job as against an enemy. He says that because of this, all of the people he once knew have nothing to do with him; even his breath is loathsome to his wife! God and his friends are not satisfied with the suffering of his flesh alone, according to Job.
Job lays into his friends with the confidence of his own salvation, for he tells them that they will be judged for their deeds against him and that Job has a redeemer!
Job20
Zophar is so agitated by these claims against him that he is moved to speak. He says that the joy of the wicked is short and that they too die just as all men. The wicked will eventually have to return all that they have taken, and his prosperity will never endure. Death will reveal to all the wicked and the righteous.
Praise the Lord that he is a redeemer; that I am given grace as salvation and that I do not have to work for that free gift! I could never measure up to God's measure of righteousness, and for his grace I am thankful!
