Key Verse: 37:14
Elihu prepared Job to listen to God's voice out of the storm. He saw the voice of God in the power of nature. God spoke in this way in order to reveal himself to all—so that everyone he has made may know his work. God is the ruler of nature, whether that is rain or snow or ice. If God so desires, then men stop their work and animals seek shelter. All this happens at God’s direction and according to his command.
Elihu asked Job to listen to God’s voice, to stop and consider God’s wonders (14). Nobody knows how God rules nature. We cannot begin to comprehend God in his omniscience. God is almighty; he is exalted in power, but he rules with justice and great righteousness. He does not use his power to oppress. He calls people to be wise and revere him.
Prayer: Prayer: Lord, you have revealed yourself in all things. Help me to revere and worship you.
One Word: One Word: Be wise and worship God?
