Text: Job 23 :8-12
8Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
10But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
12Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
Key Verse: “But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold” (Job 23:10).
Message
“We cannot fail to see in the study of the Book of Job that there is always a divine purpose in the believer’s suffering. God never allows us to suffer needlessly.” This is part of Theodore H. Epp’s introduction to his book, Job, A Man Tried As Gold. Job was a real person that lived on earth, not a fictional character. He was described as perfect and upright. He had a good relationship with God and other human beings. He had a reverential fear of God and hatred for evil.

Yet, despite his pedigree, Job passed through some terrible afflictions. He suffered the loss of all things he held dear – his possessions, children, health and the goodwill of his friends and loved ones. In fact, while at the lowest point of his life, it appeared as if God was silent. But Job remained resolute in his conviction about God’s goodness. He believed he was clean and his trials were for good. And that is true, child of God. After you are tried, you will come forth as gold.
Quote: You will come forth as gold
Challenge: Never lose your confidence in God’s goodness.
Prayer for today: Lord, help me to remain resolute like Job.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
