Behold, GOD exalteth by His power: who teacheth like Him? Who hath enjoined Him His way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? Remember that thou magnify His work, which men behold. Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off. Behold, GOD is great, and we know Him not, neither can the number of His years be searched out. (Job 36:22-26)
Elihu continues with his comments toward Job and his friends, this time exalting GOD and proclaiming His attributes in worship and praise. Elihu might not have had every thing right, but of all Job's counselors, and Job himself, Elihu seems to be the closest to trying to explain God, His wisdom and righteousness, His holiness and understanding, all from their human experience. Job and his friends, even Elihu, had no idea about what was going on in the spiritual realm, nor did any of them really know and understand the wisdom and character of the Almighty GOD whose ways are past finding out.
We cannot know GOD apart from His revelation of Himself, for His way are above our ways, His thoughts are above our thoughts. He is far past our understanding, and our sin has corrupted our knowledge of the Holy. Because GOD loves us He has given us not only the general revelation in creation that He is, but also the specific revelation in His Word, that which was written down which reveals Him, and when He became flesh and dwelt among us. The Scriptures speak of Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, and our Lord, who spoke all the worlds into being, has given us His Word that we might know Him.
Those who are born again, who have repented of our sins and trusted in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary for Salvation, are called to serve, not at the will of men or conformed to this world, but doing His will and accomplishing His work in this sinful and broken world we sojourn in. We are to take the Word of righteousness and reconciliation, rightly divided and fitly spoken, to this lost and dying world as His ambassadors and minister to those around us who are hurting and in need. We are to love one another as members one of another and disciple one another that we may grow in Him and be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We are to go with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit and as we go where He directs we are to proclaim 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.
