Job 32:6-10
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.
"I am young in years,
and you are old;
that is why I was fearful,
not daring to tell you what I know.
I thought, 'Age should speak;
advanced years should teach wisdom.'
advanced years should teach wisdom.'
But it is the spirit in a man,
the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.
It is not only the old who are wise,
not only the aged who understand what is right.
not only the aged who understand what is right.
"Therefore I say: Listen to me;
I too will tell you what I know."
I too will tell you what I know."
Elihu is one of the most interesting and powerful characters in the bible, because he holds such knowledge in his words and patience in his heart.
I like this post. I would like to read more about Elihu. I do want to learn more from the knowledge in Elihu's words and ask for God's blessing, love and patience with me as I listen and understand.

ReplyDeleteLord, take the thirsting of my mother for Your knowledge and give her water, Father. Provide for her in such a way that no one else can God. Be a rock of compassion and love for her as she follows Your way Lord. This I pray in the powerful name of Jesus Christ.
