For He is not a man, as I, that I may answer Him, and that we should go to court together. Nor is there any mediator between us, who may lay his hand on us both. Job 9:32-33 (NKJV)
Job responds to Bildad by talking about God's majesty and wisdom, acknowledging the Lord's unmatched wisdom and strength, His sovereignty over creation, and that His works are beyond human comprehension. He then talks about his limitations as a human, and even if his righteousness was greater than anyone on earth, he could not stand perfectly before God. Job concludes that the Lord is not a man as he and needs a mediator between him and God.
We have the Mediator that Job talked about, and His name is Jesus Christ. When we accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior, He became our intercessor, giving us access to God. Jesus goes before the Lord, and when asked why we should have access to Him, shows the scars on His hands and feet. Hebrews 9:24 says, “For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.” No matter the troubles that we may face or the circumstances that may seem too great, we can have confidence that we have direct access to take our pleas to God through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Choose to rest in the truth that as a believer you have access to God though your Mediator, Jesus Christ. Make it a practice each morning to pray in Jesus' name, acknowledging His unique role as Savior and High Priest. Recognize that Jesus’ name carries divine power and mediation, making requests that honor God and reflect His purposes, not personal desires or selfish ambitions. Approach God with confidence, trusting in our Mediator's intercession and the assurance that prayers are heard according to His will. Jesus if the Mediator that Job talked about!
