He knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside.
—Job 23:10-11
I'm quite sure that had I been the target of the great calamities that Job suffered, I would have had a much more intolerant type of response. Just reading this book humbles me as I compare my blessings to Job's difficulties, knowing that it is Job that deserves the blessings, not I.
If we are never tested more than we can bear and what we have been forced to bear is not that intolerable, then is it time to ask; Lord is my resolve and faith as strong as I presume? Are you blessing me in ways beyond my understanding? Will I come forth as gold, even though I have not known the kiln?
Life is not predictable, the outcome is. Our Father desires to bless you! Let your feet follow His and your path will be made perfect in the end.
Many Blessings.
Craig
