Confidence Like Job

Job 23:10-12

But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot has held fast to His steps; I have kept His way and not turned aside. I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.

Steps-to lift up the foot and put it down in a new position accompanied by shifting the body in the direction of a new position

We should be willing and obedient to move when God is ready to move.

Job knew that he would be highly esteemed because he kept God's ways and commands.

Way-manner, characteristics; methods, plans

No matter what he faced, Job did not curse God's methods or plans.

Because of his integrity towards God, Job was able to confidently say when this is over I will come forth as pure gold.

We should live life, holding to God's steps and keeping His way and commandments.

God is AWESOME...that's All I Know. -Tevin C. Jordan
