Our Scripture reading today is Job 23:6, 10.
Verse 10, "But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold."
What a great reminder that God knows everything that is going on in our lives. There isn't anything that takes God by surprise. He knew the way of Job and He knows your way too. At times, there will be fire in our lives. This fire is there, not to harm us, but to make us more like our Saviour. God is still with us during these times and He knows where we are. The refining fires allow us to bring God more glory.
When I read these verses, the first song that came to mind was, "My Lord Knows the Way Through the Wilderness." It might not be familiar to you, but it as encouraged me time and time again.
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness,
All I have to do is follow.
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness,
All I have to do is follow.
Strength for today is mine all the way,
And all that I need for tomorrow.
My Lord knows the way through the wilderness,
All I have to do is follow.
