He knows the way I take
"He knows the way I take." Job 23:10
One of the English definitions of hope is that we have a positive thought that we might obtain. Hope from God is different. It's a positive outlook with a definite end. We don't know the timeframe or always how or why. But it does have a definite end.
I was pondering this, this morning. Where I am now, I need to have the kind of faith, the kind of hope I have had for others in the past. I need it for myself . I'm getting there.
"Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." Romans 5:5
Whatever trials we are going through, we know that they create perseverance, which produces, character, and character, hope. Romans 5:3-4 Hope that doesn't disappoint.
I can't always see God, or feel His presence. None of us can all the time. I love how Job puts it:
"Look, I go forward, but He is not
there,
And backward, but I cannot perceive
Him;
When He works on the left hand, I
cannot behold Him.
When He turns to the right hand, I
cannot see Him.
But He knows the way I take;
When He has tested me I shall come
forth as gold."
Job 23:8-10
There is comfort in that.
