“But he knoweth the way that I take: When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.”
Job 23:10 KJV
Now Job responds and tells of his relationship with God, “But He knows where I am and what I’ve done. He can cross-examine me all He wants, and I’ll pass the test with honours”. Job had established his relationship with God and knew His voice. But now he can’t experience God’s Presence like he used to. Yet one must commend his faith as he confesses that when God has tried him, he’ll come forth as gold. Now that God has given us His faith by the new covenant, through these trials will reveal the sterling core of our faith, which is far more valuable than gold that perishes, for even gold is refined by fire. Our authentic God kind of faith will result in even more praise, glory, and honor when Jesus the Anointed One is revealed. That’s why we count it all joy when we fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of our faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that we may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. Amen!
