S3E081-Job 23–24: Refined, Not Forgotten


Listen Later

In today’s episode of Lifespring! One Year Bible Rewind, Steve Webb reads Job 23–24 and reflects on the tension between deep trust in God and a healthy reverence for His majesty. Job longs to make his case before God, confident that the Lord would listen, yet overwhelmed by the weight of who God is. These chapters remind us that faith does not erase awe, and trust does not cancel humility.

Episode Title

Refined, Not Forgotten

Today’s Reading

Today’s reading is Job 23–24.

Verse of the Day

Job 23:10 — “Surely he knows my way. When he tests me, I will emerge as gold.”

What This Episode Is About

In Job 23, Job expresses a bold confidence that God knows him completely and is refining him, not abandoning him. Even as he struggles to understand his suffering, Job believes his trials have purpose. Yet that confidence is paired with reverence. Job is honest about his fear, recognizing that God’s holiness and power are not things to treat casually.

Chapter 24 widens the lens, as Job looks at injustice in the world and asks why wrongdoing often seems to go unanswered. His questions are not accusations as much as they are cries of faith, spoken by someone who believes God is just, even when justice feels delayed.
