Reading along with us in Job? Here’s today’s reading:
Job 36 (NIV)
1 Elihu continued:
2“Bear with me a little longer and I will show you
that there is more to be said in God’s behalf.
3 I get my knowledge from afar;
I will ascribe justice to my Maker.…..Continue Reading
Funny that Elihu keeps having to request that Job and the others bear with him a little longer, he must have been experiencing eye rolls or lack of attention on their parts. He also often claimed to be speaking directly from God, but we see that not to be the case in his obvious misinterpretation of what is happening with Job. Flowery words and powerful speeches don’t mean it is coming from God, all too often we see people eloquently misrepresent the Bible and spread false teachings. But Elihu definitely meant well and did express many truths about the power, greatness, and justness of God, unfortunately he was just not correct about what was really going on here.
Job 35 & 36
Job 35 & 36
Job 36
Hmmm…I read this last night and thought I had made a comment…..Basically Elihu shows his pride by saying there is one perfect among you. And he gets God right in saying that He blesses the righteous and disciplines the disobedient. He also waits for and honors those who confess and repent. He just wrongly assesses that Job needs to do that more than anyone else. Elihu does also accurately describe God’s power and majesty and how His glory is found in creation.
