Job 19:25-27 			WHAT I DO KNOW I LIKE

Intro:  Ill. He trials and troubles of Job.  These verses mark a turning point in the life 

and attitude of Job.  He has been kind of a gloomy Gus, having his little pity parties, 

but here and hereafter, he gets his eyes on the big picture.  He begins to look beyond 

the here and now to some things that are settles, some things that will never change, 

some things he can rejoice in.  There are some sure blessings here for us tonight.
