Let God refine you
10 But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
11 My feet have closely followed his steps;
I have kept to his way without turning aside.
12 I have not departed from the commands of his lips;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.
13 "But he stands alone, and who can oppose him?
He does whatever he pleases.
14 He carries out his decree against me,
and many such plans he still has in store.
How about you?
Do you ever wonder why someone has to suffer? Sometimes God allows an experience which seems to be a tragedy just to get our attention and make us better people. Don't rebel when God works out the impurities in you. Just as purified silver shows a clear reflection of the refiner, so your life should show a clear reflection of Jesus.
To memorize: Job 23:10
But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold
