Joy Gems

Please Ransom ME!

Job 33:23-26a
"Yet if there is an angel on his side
as a mediator, one out of a thousand,
to tell a man what is right for him,
to be gracious to him and say,
'Spare him from going down to the pit;
I have found a ransom for him' -
then his flesh is renewed like a child's;
it is restored as in the days of his youth.
He prays to God and finds favor with him,
he sees God's face and shouts for joy;. . . ."

Just looking at this last passage again... I see another point.

Like Job's friend Elihu says, I need such an angel or mediator to be gracious to me, and speak up on my behalf; to say a ransom has been found, and then to have my flesh renewed as a child's, and that I may pray to God and find favour with Him, and see His face and shout for Joy!

Do you ever feel like that too? Do you need someone to convince God to be merciful to you? We are just not good enough on our own, and that's a fact!

Yes, we want to “see God's face,” meaning, to get that close to Him and really meet with Him, and be healed and transformed,

and filled with His Holy Spirit.

Your heart sinks; it may be for others, you say, but yourself?

Then you need to pray like this;

PRAYER: Lord God, I am sinful and come from sinful people! But You dear Lord Jesus, have paid the ransom for me with Your own blood! Your Word, the Bible, says it is for anyone who believes You did this for him personally. So by faith I receive Your finished work on the cross as sufficient to ransom and heal me! You will bring me closer to Your face! Oh Thank You, God!
