The Wisdom of Elihu
Currently in our reading through the Bible we are in the latter chapters of Job. All of the miserable comforters are now silent and a younger and wiser man named Elihu - addresses Job. As he addresses Job, he does so on the premise of what he has heard in the dialogue between Job and his "friends". In the next 5 chapters he dresses down Job and his friends for their assuming and presumptive diatribe. He does this by pointing to the character and nature of God compared to their spiritual arrogance and self righteousness. If you have the time read through these chapters and notice how it compares to the attitude of many in the church today, who think they are smarter and wiser than the Lord God Almighty.
