Job 23:8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: Job 23:9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him: Job 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
There are times in our Christian life when we cannot make sense of things. There are also times when we cannot perceive God; when we can’t feel Him or see Him working. Yet this passage assures us that God knows right where we are. We may not see Him, but He always sees us. Not only does God see us, He is actively working for our good. When life seems perplexing, remember that God is still on the job, still working His will. In time, we will see His faithfulness and feel the warmth of His presence.
