My God, My Redeemer

By Pinnacle Message

“As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last He will take His stand on the earth.” – Job 19:25 (NASB)

Narration: A Cry From the Depths

There are moments in the journey of faith where a believer feels forsaken—burdened by affliction, misunderstood by people, and seemingly distant from divine comfort. In such seasons, the cry “My God, My Redeemer” does not spring from joy, but from the furnace of suffering, with a desperate clinging to hope. This was the song of Job, the grief of David, the declaration of Isaiah, and the lifeline of many believers today.

The protagonist in this journey is not just any wanderer—but a faithful soul wounded by the battles of life. A person tempted to believe that God has turned away. Yet in the silence, he remembers the ancient promises. Though everything else trembles, one name remains: Redeemer.

Exposition: Who Is This Redeemer?

The Hebrew word for Redeemer is Go’el, one who rescues, avenges, or buys back. This figure steps in when all hope is lost—an advocate for the helpless, a deliverer of the bound, a restorer of the broken.

God as Redeemer is not just a theological concept; it is a reality etched through Scripture:

1. Job 19:25

“For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.”

Job, amid his unimaginable suffering, declares this bold truth. His body is decaying, his friends are accusing him, and God seems silent. Yet, Job anchors himself in the living Redeemer—assuring us that faith must speak even when understanding fails.

2. Isaiah 47:4

“As for our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is His name, the Holy One of Israel.”

Isaiah affirms God’s identity as not just a protector, but the Commander of armies—our Redeemer has authority in both heaven and earth. We are not at the mercy of chaos. Our Redeemer rules with unmatched sovereignty.

3. Psalm 19:14

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.”

David, a man after God’s heart, understood the dual role of God as both a stabilizer (rock) and a rescuer (Redeemer). It reminds us to watch the posture of our hearts, even when we’re hurting.

4. Isaiah 44:24

“Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: ‘I am the Lord, who made all things…’”

Your Redeemer knew you before you were born. He’s not surprised by your detours. He is not just with you—He formed you. If He started the work, He will finish it.

5. Titus 2:14

“…Who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession…”

Christ didn’t redeem us with silver or gold—but with His blood. He didn’t buy us back to leave us the same. He cleanses us for His purposes. Redemption always leads to transformation.

6. Psalm 103:4

“Who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with steadfast love and mercy…”

God doesn’t just rescue us—He elevates us. From the pit of despair, He crowns us with mercy. He gives dignity where there was shame, and hope where there was despair.

7. Galatians 3:13

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us…”

The cross is the full expression of God’s redemptive power. Christ took the curse we deserved so we could receive the blessing we didn’t earn. This is grace in its purest form.

Interpretation: From Despair to Deliverance

To cry “My God, My Redeemer” is more than an act of desperation—it is a prophetic declaration of who God is even when He seems hidden. The believer must be cautious: the heart wounded by life can easily fall into bitterness, accusation, or self-pity. The mind can grow weary and believe lies whispered in suffering.

But remember:

• Redemption is not always immediate, but it is always certain.

• God sees you, even when you don’t see Him.

• What feels like abandonment might be preparation.

A Word to Believers

Hold on to the Redeemer. He does not waste pain. He does not forget His own. Redemption isn’t just about rescue—it’s about restoration and purpose.

Let your prayers echo this truth:

“Lord, even when I don’t understand, I trust that You are my Redeemer. You live. You reign. You are coming for me. Strengthen my faith. Purify my heart. And bring beauty from these ashes. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
