In Job’s last testimony, he longingly gazes at the past where he and those under his care flourished under the friendship of God. He bitterly glares at the present where he seems to be suffering the judgment of God, and he hopefully glimpses the future where he boldly approaches God like a prince, robed in righteousness and crowned with justice.

In Jesus, we have a righteousness greater than Job’s! So when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we too should boldly robe ourselves in Jesus’ righteousness and approach God like a princess, fully persuaded that he will embrace us.
