JOB 32 - 34
Inspired thots
Job's 3 friends became silent after Job justified himself but another younger friend, Elihu, spoke. His speech showed his youthful encounter with God; he has not yet known the deeper character of God like Job or have understanding to keep silent like Job's friends because they knew Job spoke rightly.
There is wisdom in age; it matures one in thoughts and spirit especially if one uses time to develop a close relationship with God. The young has limited knowledge and experience of God and hence, holds a skewed perspective of God like Elihu. He did right in allowing the older ones to speak first but he did not understand the truth of the matter in the conversation.
Elihu understood only the basics of God; righteous people will not be afflicted by evil. He has yet to experience a deeper relationship with God. But God is merciful and gracious to all who seek Him.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
