A Faith-Based Presence


Job 23:8-12

I am going forward but He is not there,
Then I go back, but I see Him nowhere;
I look towards my left and then my right,
But He is just nowhere within my sight;
For He knows exactly which way I take,
After I have been tested for His sake;
For I will be coming out just like gold,
As my feet gone where He has strolled;
I have kept following and without astray,
Via His the straight and narrow pathway;
And never against the orders of His lips,
Stored up in my heart like docking ships.
I know He is here even if I can not see,
Giving His peace as He watches over me;
It is my faith that tells me not to fret,
Knowing He has never forsaken me yet;
Believing in the Lord God sight unseen,
That without Him it could not have been;
Everything that you see as well as hear,
If God had not been loving and sincere.
