Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from GOD, that He should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that He should commit iniquity. For the work of a man shall He render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. Yea, surely GOD will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
For His eyes are upon the ways of man, and He seeth all his goings. There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. For He will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with GOD. (Job 34:10-12, 21-23)
Elihu continues to speak against those who pervert the nature and character of GOD without wisdom or knowledge of His Sovereignty and Justice. GOD is not a man that He should do wickedly, nor is His justice capricious or petty. GOD always does right. We may not know His plans, or understand His purposes, or even agree with what He allows to happen in this sinful and broken world, but His ways are perfect and His thoughts are righteous. They are above our ways and our thoughts for ours are of the flesh, of the world, and temporary. He is eternal, and sees the beginning and the ending, and is working all things to bring lost people to Himself and His own closer to Him and conformed to the image of His dear Son.
Tragedy and calamity may come, but we ought to trust GOD even in the loss of that which is dear to us. Those who are in Christ are present with Him when we leave this life, and material things in this world are temporary. All must go the way of all the earth, but only those who are secure in Christ go to be with Him. GOD wants all to come to Him and find safety and the new life in Him which He has already paid for through His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. He wants every person to be born again through repentance and faith in Him, no to live as they please, for that is sin, but to serve the living GOD. We cannot trust ourselves, our religious activity, nor any other means besides faith in Jesus Christ through His Spirit and His Word to save us and provide eternal life.
His is the only Name under heaven whereby we are saved, and those who are His are to take His message of hope in this life and the next by faith, peace with GOD through repentance, and the love of the Father to this lost and dying world. His people are to be on mission for Him, serving our Lord as we serve those around us who are hurting and in need, with the Word of reconciliation and righteousness, rightly divided and fitly spoken, that they may know Him and see Christ in us, the hope of Glory. His children are to love one another as members of His family, and disciple one another in His Word that we may grow thereby into the full measure of Him who first loved us. His saints, servants and witnesses of GOD, are to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit as we go, and proclaim to every one every where the Good News of forgiveness through repentance and reconciliation with the Father through faith in His Son, that those who believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah of GOD, might have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD, forgiveness from GOD, and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
