Shining in brilliant clarity is Job’s well-known declaration: “But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold” (Job 23:10). Job found rest in remembering that God knew what Job didn’t, that God had a plan, and that God’s good purpose would be fulfilled. It was raw faith that refused to release God’s goodness—even when every outward indicator denied it.”
