Wel Praise God! I just finally finished my first ever book of the bible. I went online to get confirmation from opinions on this. Good news, I found a new dude!
His name is Elihu!
He's the guy who comes out of nowhere, in the midst of Job and his three friends arguing/complaining having heart to hearts. He intercedes and defends God. Even Job, the most righteous of them all could not see what was going on.
Whats cool about him is something that he says which has become one of my favorite verses in this book.
Job 32: 6-8
6 "So Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite said: "I am young in years, and you are old; that is why i was fearful,
not daring to tell you what i know.'
7 I thought, 'Age should speak;
advanced yeasrs should teach wisdom.'
8 But it is the spirit in a man,
The breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding."
crazy eh? So all you little kids out there. Read your bible and let God fill your brains with his amazing Wisdom! Cmon! It's Free! Dont let the elders intimidate you, be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, For God will deliver the right words, not your words but his own and he will use you like a vessel. haha.
Job lacked insight, and that was what Elihu had.
Job - Endurance/Faith
Elihu - Insight
Job in a nutshell, Job loses everything cause Satan wanted to rematch with God. Jobs friends dicourage him then some guy named elihu comes and puts him in his place cause hes young then God comes down and talks with Job. Forgiveing him and his friensd and blessing him in abundance. Man this was a tough book, it was my first book. I hope to read more. My dad advised me to raed Mark. So i think i'll do that.
