What Does Job 22:28 Mean?
Eliphaz promises that once Job is right with God, what he purposes will stand, and light will shine upon his ways. He pictures a life of clarity and success, guided and blessed by God.
The promise points to the steadiness God gives those who walk with Him. When our plans are surrendered to His will, He establishes the work of our hands, and He lights the path before us so we need not stumble in darkness. This light finds its fullness in the One who is the light of the world; whoever follows Him does not walk in darkness but has the light of life. To walk with God is to walk in the brightness of His guidance.
