What Does Job 23:14 Mean?
Job applies God's unchanging will to his own case. God performs what is appointed for him, and many such things, more than Job can see, remain with God.
Job does not claim to understand all that God is doing, only that God is doing it deliberately. There is comfort in believing one's life is appointed, not random. The same God who orders each life holds purposes beyond our sight, and works all things according to the counsel of His will.
