God Knows The Way

Job 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold

You know the way that I take,

You know how many turns and twists I’ll need to take,

You know how many hills I’ll have to climb

The battles I will face

The storms I’ll endure

The hurdles I’ll need to jump over

You know how many pauses I will make

The choices I will make

For you know the beginning from the end

You know the road I’m on

You know my coming in and my lying down

You know when I sit and when I rise;

You perceive my thoughts from afar

He knoweth the way that I take

It’s not gon' happen tomorrow

It will take some time

It is a journey, not a sprint

And I’m not done yet

I’m work in progress

I haven’t arrived

I’m just getting started

But this I know

That even though I walk through

The valley of the shadow of death

I will fear no evil

For thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me

I’m not out yet

I don’t know for how long I’ll be in the fire

I don’t know how fierce the furnace will be

But when my faith has been tested

I know how the story ends

I know I won’t burn

For when He has tried me

I’ll come forth as gold

He knoweth the way that I take

So I won’t be jaded by life

I’m going to enjoy it instead

For I know He who has gone before me

The one who was there in the beginning

The one who for my sake became flesh

And I made up my mind to begin with Him

So, I count not myself to have apprehended:

But this one thing I do,

Forgetting those things which are behind,

Forgetting the fears that might arise

Forgetting disappointments

Refusing to dwell on the past

Letting go of all the hurt

Seeking forgiveness for the crimes I’ve committed

I embrace the journey ahead

Reaching forth unto those things which are before me,

I press toward the mark

For the prize of the high calling

He knoweth the way that I take
