Job looks all around, forward, backward, to the right, and to the left--literally north, south, east, and west--and he doesn't see #God anywhere, nothing, zilch, nada. But in a great statement of #faith Job says tho I can't see you anywhere God, I KNOW that You see me. You see the way I take, the way I live for You, the way my circumstances have left me in despair, the isolating path of suffering. And when this bitter trial is over, the intense and unbearable heat of the refiner's fire, made 1milx worse by Your deafening silence, I shall come out as gold. The silence of God does not nullify the presence of God. #quote #bible #bibleverse #oldtestament #wisdom #oldtestamentwisdom #otwisdom #job #suffering
