Spanish
Wednesday, January 24 – Job 35, 36

Study questions:
    1. According to Elihu, why does God not respond to prayer? Job 35:12
    2. According to Elihu, why are the righteous bound? Job 36:8,9
    3. What is he suggesting about Job? Job 36:16-19
Commentary and reflection:
Once young Elihu begins to speak, it’s like a dam breaking.
His religious fervor is evident. He knows a lot about God and nature. It is interesting how someone who has so much knowledge can be so wrong. Despite his religiously correct speech, there is an obvious disconnect. He knows a lot about God, but he doesn’t know His character. He does not know God, because he who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 John 4:8

Is it possible that, instead of knowing a lot, we can know Him a lot? How can truly connect with God?
A good beginning is to have a humble attitude towards life, especially towards those things we don’t know or understand. Our knowledge and our understanding are very limited. Really, we don’t need to know everything; We need to learn to trust God in everything.
The apostle Paul says,
10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, Philippians 3:10
Elihu was trying to defend God. He was outraged by Job’s because he was out of sync with his doctrine or his friends’. His outrage prevented him from seeing Job and understanding him. His religious outrage did not allow him to feel empathy and compassion for a friend.
Brothers and sisters, the way to defend God is to love our neighbor. It is important to learn and cultivate the art of listening, more than the art of opining, to learn the art of empathizing, more than the art of advising.

Who is God inviting you to, today, to show His love through the ministry of presence, listening, and empathizing?
May God bless you today.

Pastor Ronald Paulin
