Job 34:16-37
It is impossible for man to form a judgment on God by his own reasoning. He only has other men as objects of comparison. So that His creature could know Him, God had to reveal Himself. And yet it is not our own intelligence which grasps this divine revelation. Faith alone is capable of it. God now manifests Himself by His Spirit. "The things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God" (1 Corinthians 2:11). He leads the believer into all truth (John 16:13). Elihu teaching Job is a picture to us of this. He shows Job that in deriving his knowledge of God from his own experience and thoughts (v. 33) he has gone completely astray. By doing this he is led to condemn Him who is the most Just (v. 17).
Rather than harbouring and expressing these false thoughts about God what should Job have done? He should have asked Him humbly, "That which I see not teach thou me" (v. 32). Each one of us should address this short prayer to the Lord every moment of the day!
