“The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.” - Job 17v9
Job grasped a concept that many Christians never seem to grasp today. Trials and troubles in our Christian life are things to be feared, but they truly have a purpose.
Job said that when the righteous go through problems they would hold to their ways and not be moved, but would stay hold on to his way.
Too often we see problems the wrong way. Perhaps that is why James writes that we should count is all joy when we fall into various types of trials. Perhaps that is why Paul reminds us to be steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. God always has a purpose for our trials, always.
Are we righteous enough that when trials come we hold fast to our way?
