"Faith" God When You Can't Feel Him

The thing that will reveal your faith is praying when no answer comes.

Job 23:3 Oh that I knew where I might find him; that I might come even to his seat.

This was the most severe test Job ever faced. Searching forward, backward, on the left and the right, he couldn't find God.

It wasn't when all of his ten children died. It wasn't when he lost all of his camels, oxen, sheep, goats, chickens or servants. And it wasn't when Mrs. Job said, "Just curse God and die." No, this was just part of it.

His greatest test was when he looked to God and God wasn't there. But he didn't lose faith.

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

So, you pray like you used to pray and there's no response -- no feeling. Here's where you believe God when you can't perceive Him. You "faith" Him when you can't feel Him. There are times when God wants to see what your faith will lead you to do.

In all this, Job sinned not nor charged God foolishly.
