God Does Not Answer Because of the Arrogance of the People

Date: Apr. 18, 2015

Passage

Job 35:1-16  (ESV)

Daily Bread

Key Verse: 35:11

First, what do I gain by not sinning? (1-8) Elihu further replied to Job's claim, "I am in the right, not God. What profit do I gain by not sinning?" If we commit sin, many sins, our wickedness does not affect God. They only affect humans. If we are righteous, very righteous, what do we give to God? It doesn't affect God but only other people.

Second, Elihu proves that Job has empty talk without knowledge (9-16). Elihu continually proved that Job's speeches and arguments were wrong. Surely God does not listen to the empty talk of the wicked or answer to their plea. How much less will he listen to Job when he says that he does not see God, that God's anger never punishes and that he does not take the least notice of wickedness.

Prayer: Lord, you are right when you don't answer. I am wrong, let me repent always before you never complaining in any situation.

One Word: God is right, I am wrong!
