Job said this after some complaining, “I go forward but He is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive Him; When He acts on the left, I cannot see Him; He turns to the right, but I cannot see Him. “BUT HE KNOWS THE WAY I TAKE (He never takes His eyes off of me); When He has put me to the test, I will COME OUT AS GOLD. MY FOOT HAS HELD ON TO HIS PATH; I have kept His way and not turned aside. “I have not failed the command of His lips; I HAVE TREASURED THE WORDS OF HIS MOUTH more than my necessary food.” (Job 23:8-12) The devil came to Jesus and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on EVERY WORD THAT COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD.'” (Matthew 4:3-4)
Then Job says, “As long as I have life and God gives me breath, MY MOUTH WON’T say EVIL THINGS. My lips won’t TELL LIES…I’LL TEACH ALL OF YOU about GOD’S POWER. I WON’T HIDE the things the Mighty One does.” (Job 27:3-4, 11) Jesus said, “Have faith in God, what I’m about to tell you is true. Suppose one of you says to this mountain (this is speaking of a mountain sized problem), ‘Go and throw yourself into the sea.’ YOU MUST NOT DOUBT IN YOUR HEART. You MUST BELIEVE that what you say will happen. THEN IT WILL BE DONE FOR YOU. “So, I tell you, when you pray for something, BELIEVE that you HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED IT. Then IT WILL BE YOURS.” (Mark 11:22-24)
