Till my change come

Posted by: Lasserre on November 15, 2008

As we approach the end of another year we are once again reminded of the swift passage of time. The falling leaves of late autumn and the cold mornings of winter present a picture of life, as age takes its toll and we face the reality that death lies ahead. But even when the beautiful flowers of summer are but a memory and the barren countryside displays the bareness of winter, there is the expectation that springtime is ahead.

Job said, “All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come” (Job 14:14). He was mindful that man’s travel here is but a short journey. “He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not” (14:2). A shadow is gone in an instant. We are fragile creatures and life often ends abruptly.

But Job was anticipating a change—a great and glorious change. “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God” (Job 19:25).

How comforting amidst the changing seasons of life to know our Redeemer lives. The Redeemer conquered death by His resurrection and He now lives on high. Though there is death and decay around us, He lives. When we see the end is near and we breathe out our last in death, He lives.

Even after the body has moldered in the tomb, yet in the flesh we shall see Him. The great day of resurrection will dawn, and we will be with Him and be like Him. There will be no night there, but one eternal day. No more chilling winds of winter, no more death, but one eternal sinless summertime as we bask in the sunlight of His love forever.
