Scripture:
“But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.”
— Job 23:10 (NKJV)
Points:
- God is fully aware of every step we take.
- Even when we feel lost, He is guiding our path.
- Times of testing are not signs of abandonment.
- God uses trials to refine us, not to ruin us.
- Anxiety shrinks when we trust that He knows the end from the beginning.
Poem: The Way I Take
I do not see the road ahead.
The turns are sharp, the light is dim.
But you see clearly through it all.
You know the steps before I walk.
You know the way I cannot see.
You’re not surprised by where I stand.
You planned this path before I breathed.
You guide the test that burns but heals.
You shape the fire to make me whole.
You walk the dark and call me through.
I am not just a drifting soul.
You mark the road with care and grace.
You use the trial to shape the heart.
You use the heat to draw out gold.
You see the treasure I can’t see.
The fear of loss, the dread of wrong—
You silence it with knowing love.
You do not waste the time I fear.
You turn the hurt into new hope.
You draw me closer through the fire.
Today I trust what you have planned.
You know the way, and you are good.
I take your hand, though I’m unsure.
You lead me on with perfect sight.
And I will follow without fear.
Prayer:
Lord, You know the way I take. Even when I feel lost, You are leading me. Refine me through the trials and bring me forth in Your beauty and peace. Amen.
