I go forward

Job 23:8-10 kjv "Behold, I go forward, but He is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive Him: On the left hand, where He doth work, but I cannot behold Him: He hideth Himself on the right hand, that I cannot see Him: But He knoweth the way that I take: when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold".  As for the believer, just as with Job, there are times when it seems that God has hidden Himself from us, and that He is nowhere near. Job could not hear Him or feel Him, but he still confessed the Lord. Life can get a little rough now and then. Just as in Job's life, problems will arise one after another and it may look like God has forgotten all about you. What do we do when terrible things stare us in the eyes, and everyday life is disturbed by chaos? We can do nothing but seek the face of God, our Savior, even though at times it seems as if He hides Himself from us. Don't be moved. He knows our ways and the steps we take. Stand still and believe, because out of these hard times arises a soul as pure as gold. Keep seeking Him, and don't give up. Praise the Lord. God Bless You.
