“But He knows the way that
I take; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold.”
-Job 23:10
The suffering servant Job
went through the fire of testing which perhaps no man has ever experienced. He
was driven to question God about his sufferings. In the darkness of his pain,
he wanted some explanations. His wife saw no glimmer of light in this darkness
that she urged Job to curse God and die. And yet Job held on to that last straw
of hope. God will not abandon him. In the end his true character had shined
forth like gold. All the impurities had been removed by the fiery fire of
testing and what remained of his faith and of his life was pure, unadulterated
gold, precious and pleasing to God.
