Hold Your Way; Be Stronger

                                           Job 17:9
                    "The righteous also shall hold on his way
                          and he that hath clean hands shall
                                 be stronger and stronger"

        In Job Chapter 16, Job described the terrible hostility of God, who dashed him to pieces, laid him in ruins and poured out his soul to the ground. Then he thought why had all this come upon him though he was innocent both in life and in spirit. Then he comes to the point at which he always loses self-control and he realizes that in spite of his innocence he is held guilty.
        He vows that he could bear his awful calamities if only he were delivered from the mockery; and asks that God judge between him and them. God is the supreme Judge, and Job asks Him to become his surety against the incrimination's of those who so shamefully misjudged him.
        There is no other course for hunted souls than appeal from man to God in the person of Jesus. He insists that in a whirlwind of trouble the righteous must hold on his way and keep his hands clean. If one's path has dipped down into the valley of the shadow, let them hold on their way. Go on doing the will of God, so far as you know it, and it will bring you out under His heaven of love.
        Amen!!
