THE CONFIDENT WOMAN DEVOTIONAL: OUR VINDICATOR

I often say that Psalms are right after Job, because after getting beat up in
Job, you need some psalms. God only knows what this man was going through, how
hard it must have been. He lost his whole family, had boils all over his body,
and all of his friends turned against him. Yet what does Job say? God is a God
of justice.

Job knew who he was. He knew his own heart. He knew what he was doing. He knew
his motives for doing what he was doing. He didn’t really care what others
thought about him. He knew that his Vindicator was God. He didn’t have to
defend himself, because if he needed to be vindicated, God would do it. It
might take a year or five years or ten years, but sooner or later God would
come around and vindicate him. If he didn’t know that God was his Vindicator,
he would have had to try to vindicate himself.

Pray: Lord, You are my Redeemer and Vindicator. You know my heart, and Your
approval of my life is all that I need. Help me to not listen to others’
judgments. Amen.
