Compare Elihu’s reasons with what Paul had said in Romans, “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” These two passages not being quite the same are parallel, and point to the same problem. God is greater than us, and by definition, He is Just. He is always Right. If we have an issue with God, it is never him that is wrong. Now, as Job, I have found that we may also not be wrong, but not seeing the entire picture, as God does. So when you do not understand what God is doing, be patient, giving God the Glory, knowing that he deserves the glory, even while you present to him your cause, for he cares for you, and in due time, as you trust in him above all, he may revel his purpose, but if not, know him and his character and that nothing he asks of you will be in vain. Selah [Think about this.] Amen.
