Charles Spurgeon Commentary Job 23:13-14

"But he is in one [mind], and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. For he performeth that which is appointed for me: And many such things are with him." — Job 23:13-14 (ASV)

And what his soul desires, even that he does. For he performs the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.

You will find that men who are much tried fall back upon the granite foundation of the divine decree. God has ordained it, so they yield to it; they acquiesce in it because it is according to the eternal purpose of the Most High. Though we say little about it now, there may come a time when some of you will have to say, as Job does, For he performs the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
