We have no choice but to confess …

There can be complaint and groaning when God’s hand is heavy upon us (Job 23:1-2).

At that time, we should seek God who pays attention to us (v. 6) and present our case before Him

And fill my mouth with arguments (vv. 3-4, 7).

Then we want to learn the words which He will answer (v. 5).

But we cannot hear His answer, nor can we find God (vv. 6, 8-9).

Nevertheless, we believe in God.

God knows all the way we take and walk.

And He will try us and we shall come forth as gold (v. 10).

Therefore, our foot holds fast to His path.  We keep His way and not turn aside (v. 11).

And we treasure the words of His mouth and don’t depart from the command of His lips (v. 12).

We have no choice but to confess:

“But He is unique and who can turn Him? And what His soul desires, that He does” (v. 13).

Therefore, God will surely perform what is appointed for us (v. 14).
