“Then Elihu continued and said,” Job 35:1 As I said yesterday, Elihu is quite the character; speaking at times wisely, then foolishly; humbly, then arrogantly. On your first time reading through Job, you really don’t know what to expect; he is Very Unpredictable! What little we do know about him is found at the beginning […]
“And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men his anger burned.” Job 32:5 And then there was Elihu… What…A…Character!!! If you’ve read or studied Job, you know what I’m talking about. As the story of Job unfolds, we have his 3 “well-meaning” Friends, all trying to help
“I have made a covenant with my eyes; How then could I gaze at a virgin?” Job 31:1 As I mentioned yesterday, we are in the midst of an “Interlude”. This takes place from Chapters 26 to 31 and has only Job speaking. Like a Debate, we’ve had each Speaker present his Argument, his Rebuttal,
“And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.’” Job 28:28 If you’ve been Reading through the Book of Job, you’ve hit what I will call “The Interlude”. Job’s 3 Friends (if you can call them that) have each taken their best shot

“I have heard many such things; Sorry comforters are you all.” Job 16:2 So far in this Amazing Book, we’ve seen a glimpse of what can take place under God’s Sovereign Control. Isn’t it staggering to consider a Heavenly Meeting where Satan himself is present strategizing the course of One of God’s Own? Every time
“Shall a multitude of words go unanswered and a talkative man be acquitted?” Job 11:2 As we continue our Reading through the Book of Job, we are given a glimpse into the nature of the Heart of Men; even those we might have thought were our friends! Today we are introduced to Job’s 3rd friend,
“If your sons sinned against Him, then He delivered them into the power of their transgression.” Job 8:4 Yesterday in my Post, we were introduced to Friend #1, Eliphaz. He was the first of Job’s Friends to speak, and though he expressed some truth, held it with a Bad Perspective. But instead of dealing with
