Job 22-25

“But if I go to the east, he is not there; if I go to the west, I do not find him” (23:8). Job expressed his genuine frustrations with his own situation and the world (24:12-13), while his friends continued to spout easy ‘answers’. Eliphaz was convinced that Job was being punished and recommended that he “submit to God ... in this way prosperity will come to you” (22:1). Job had no answers, just stubborn faith.

“But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold” (23:8-10). We often don’t see or understand our path, but God does. We can trust that He is beside us, wise and caring, to the end.
