Reflection
In today's readings, righteous suffering meets ultimate vindication. Job 31-33 presents Job's final defense of his integrity while Elihu enters challenging both Job and his friends. Psalm 102 voices anguish yet anchors hope in God's eternal reign. Revelation 19 unveils Christ's triumphant return, where all injustice ends and righteousness prevails, bringing comfort to those who suffer faithfully.

The key insight we can draw from these passages is this: God vindicates those who maintain integrity through suffering, and His justice ultimately prevails through Christ's triumphant return.

Let's break this down into a simple principle:

Maintain integrity during trials while anchoring hope in God's eternal purposes and coming justice.

Here are five practical steps we can take to apply today's readings:

1. Write down three ways you can maintain integrity in one current difficult situation.

2. Spend 10 minutes praying through Psalm 102, making its words your own prayer.

3. List five reasons to praise God despite current circumstances.

4. Share with someone how God's ultimate victory gives you hope today.

5. Choose one relationship where you can demonstrate Christ's justice and mercy.

As you go about your day, reflect on this question: How does knowing Christ will ultimately set all things right change how you respond to current injustice?

Conclusion
Thank you for joining me today. God vindicates those who suffer with integrity. His justice will prevail through Christ's return. Let this hope strengthen your resolve to live righteously today. Until tomorrow, may God's eternal purposes anchor your soul.
