5.ELIHU’S ADVICE TO JOB. (A New Voice.)

THE YOUNGEST IN THE GROUP.

He is the youngest man in the group. He has ceased speaking because of the seniority of the others. His speech which fills no less than six chapters has a:

NEW PERSPECTIVE.

A NEW APPROACH.

NEW APPEAL.

A NEW ANSWER.

Chapters 32-37.

Elihu suggests that wisdom does not come with age, but through Inspiration of God. chapter 32:9. Inspiration comes to anyone who seeks the mind of God.

Job is longing to have someone to mediate between God and himself. Elihu believes “He is the one”

He boldly states, “I am here in God’s place” Chapter 33:6.

The other comforters were judgemental whereas Elihu wanted to be a brother.

“But God is greater than man so He does not need to explain Himself. Yet he will speak to you if you will listen!”

Chapter 33:14-15. When God chastises, it is with a view to: HEAL AND RESTORE!

God is RIGHTEOUS AND IMPARTIAL!

Chapter 34:10-19. He is Perfect in Discernment and yet some of his ways are mysterious.

Suffering is not necessarily a punishment for past behaviour, but CORRECTIVE!

There are things you can do to change the way you behave. “As a man thinks so is he.”

God comes to restore you and He acts with,

ABSOLUTE RIGHTEOUSNESS.

IMPARTIALITY.

AND DISCERNMENT.

You can ask God “why”? Jesus did so on the cross.

But you cannot demand an answer from Him. He is greater than man so He does not require to explain Himself to us at all.

Elihu appeals for absolute patience. Tell God how you feel and be patient and wait for Him so you can learn.

Chapter 35:15.

We must have faith in God Himself, rather than to have an explanation from Him.

This is true Wisdom. God is All Knowng and All Righteous. You must believe that before you can trust Him. Chapter 36:5.

“TOUCHING THE ALMIGHTY, WE CANNOT FIND HIM OUT; HE IS EXCELLENT IN POWER AND JUDGEMENT AND PLENTEOUS IN JUDGEMENT AND JUSTICE.”

HE WILL NOT WILLINGLY AFFLICT MEN.

LET MEN THEREFORE FEAR HIM.”

It gets down to this. Faith in God is better than an explanation. You must trust him first, that’s what faith is all about. Believing though you can’t see.

Do you trust God though you do not understand?

Or are you like Job contending with God demanding answers to things you don’t understand?

Let us,

“STAND STILL AND QUIETLY WAIT AND SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD!”

Remember dear one who is suffering and you know the Lord. Satan is the cause of sin and when we make decisions that are out of God’s will. There are consequences. The moment you stop questioning Him and trust Him instead, He will take control. Put yourself on the altar of sacrifice, and give it all to Jesus.

The keyword for you is the word Surrender!

He will make a way of escape so you can bear it. In His wisdom and time He will always give you a safe landing place. Oh precious one He dearly loves you.

I prophesy this over you. “THERE IS AN EXPECTED END.”

If you need help, don’t go to the world to find it. Go to God, and be guided by His Word.

The Counsellor, the one called alongside to help you has the Authority and Power to deliver you from the grip of the evil one. That’s why Jesus shed His precious blood on the cross of Calvary.

“IF THE SON WILL MAKE YOU BE FREE. YOU WILL BE FREE INDEED.”

Amen.
