He Knows the Way
Job 23:10 – “But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.”
As the years pass by, this verse becomes more precious to me. There is infinite comfort in the assurance that HE KNOWS THE WAY that I take. Too often we want to know what God is doing to us, and in those moments of darkness we cry, “Why, O why, must I pass through this way of trials and testing?” It is then that faith answers, “HE KNOWS THE WAY!
The following poem “He Maketh No Mistake” by A. M. Overton brought great blessing to my heart. I trust it will also encourage you as you face some of the unanswered problems of life.
My Father’s way may twist and turn,
My heart may throb and ache;
But in my soul I’m glad I know
He maketh no mistake.
My cherished plans may go astray,
My hopes may fade away;
But still I’ll trust my Lord to lead,
For He doth know the way.
Though night be dark and it may seem
That day will never break;
I’ll pin my faith, my all in Him,
He maketh no mistake.
There’s so much now I cannot see,
My eyesight’s far too dim;
But come what may, I’ll simply trust
And leave it all to Him.
