‏ Job 23:13

Job's Comfort in His Integrity.

In these verses, Job reflects on the sovereignty and power of God. He knows that God’s plans cannot be changed and that God does whatever He decides. Job admits that he cannot fully understand God’s ways, but he also recognizes that his own suffering is part of God’s greater plan. Even though these truths are hard, Job tries to find comfort in them. Sometimes, though, these thoughts make him feel troubled and afraid, because he cannot see the reason for his pain or when it will end.

v. 13: Job says, But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desires, even that he does . He means that God’s decisions are firm and cannot be changed by anyone. God’s will is always done, and no one can stop Him (Psalm 135:6 a).
