SILENCE TIMES
Wk 11 Day 5.5/6.5

Job 23:8-10

⁸ "But if I go to the east, he is not there;
if I go to the west, I do not find him.

⁹ When he is at work in the north, I do not see him;
when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.

¹⁰ But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.

Though there are times when we don't know what God is doing... or being silent on us or that we don't exactly know what God wants us to do, we must still do what is right... That even when we are tested on these "silence times", we will come forth as gold. Someone who stood on the ground of God's will and his ways. Job was able to say that despite all the mockings his friends did to him. He was able to say that his feet have closely followed the steps of God (v. 11).

Right now, I am in the middle of understanding what God really wants for me to do in a specific situation in my life. I have been getting a lot of "sad and grievous" scriptures. I do not know exactly why. However, I am preparing for whatever God is about to let me experience. Just like Job, I must stay on course with God's plan for me. I want to be able to say that I have kept the faith even when I didn't know which road to take (blurriness of things). I must stay on the safe side, with God on my side.

Lord, please make yourself and your word even clearer to me. Whatever it is that you are telling me, I pray that you will confirm it. Forgive me if I am blocking things for me to clearly hear you. I pray that you will remove that and give me an open heart and spirit to see and hear you clearly. Guide me Oh Lord. I want to know what it is you have been speaking to me about this week. I have faith that everything will be alright and that everything will fall according to Your will and purpose. I will remain steadfast. In Jesus' name, amen.
