I Don't Know!
'He knows where I am going' Job 23:10
Do you get fed up with people asking you things like; 'What are you going to do when you grow up? Are you going to university? What career path are you taking?' Do you feel pressured into having to answer when all you want is to shout back, 'I don't know, please stop asking me!'
Do you sometimes feel pressured into believing you have to have the same opinion as your boyfriend or girlfriend who say they want to have sex; your friends who ask you to take drugs, get drunk, go shoplifting; or your parents who say you have to stick up for yourself by using your fists to fight your cause?
Does life sometimes get a bit too much, confusing you until your head hurts and your insides scream, 'Leave me alone I just don't know!'?
There's a book in the Bible named after a man called Job, whose life became unbearable: 'Darkness is all around me; thick, impenetrable darkness is everywhere' (23:17 NLT). His mind was confused by circumstances and friends' opinions.
But Job knew in this muddled mess that he could completely trust God, 'He knows where I am going,' Job said. He knew he could trust God to help him out of his muddled mess as long as He stuck with God, living life God's way. The same is true for you today.
