Key Verse: 36:26
This is Elihu's fourth and final speech. He proclaims God's justice. Even though God is mighty, he does not despise men. His eyes are on the righteous. When those who suffer repent of sin and seek him, he blesses. But godless men become stubborn and bitter when they suffer. With rebellious hearts they persist in sin and reap its consequences.
God has revealed himself in power and glory to all humanity. We are called to praise him. God is beyond our ability to understand, but he pours out blessings on all mankind. With his almighty power, his perfect justice, and his sovereign greatness, God governs the nations in order that his glory may be revealed and multiplied. Apart from God all men fall into bitterness and judgment. We are called to pursue how great is God. Though he is beyond our understanding, his glory is revealed to us every day.
Prayer: Prayer: Lord, help me to pursue your greatness with the hope of tasting your eternal glory.
One Word: One Word: Seek the greatness of God?
