Job 32-37

Sup Girlys!

Job 32-37, is one of Jobs friends making a speech, he is a young man (probably a teenager). In those days they stictly believed with age comes wisdom and it was strange for a young person to be wise. This young man, Elihu, was a very brave boy, he waited for all the other men to have finished speaking, even then him speaking could have been dangerous for him, he begins by asking them to please listen to him because he has something to say, and each chapter he actually re asks for their attention just so he doesnt get into trouble I guess.
There are many thoughts on his speech, but personally I think he was the most correct out of all the friends and it sounds like Elihu really knew God, and also points towards that the spirit of God was talking through him.

In our world today there is so many views and opinions about God and why he does what he does and His reasonings. Elihu, in his speech point out clearly that God is just and He wouldnt have just smited Job with His troubles just because, but also points out that Job was a righteous man, not perfect but a good man..He doesnt come to a conclusion about why God did what he did to Job but simply tells to trust God that he has it under control, and we dont really need to know why.
In many situations we wont ever know why God does some of the things He does, But know that God is JUst and in control, and everything happens for a reason, plus He works out all things for the good of those who love him (Romans 8v28). Sometimes it is hard to do this especially when we cant see a way out of a situation or cant see any possible just reason for things, but know we cant control much in this world and the more we do try the less control we will actually have. But when we simply just trust and depend on God, he takes control of it all!

Elihu knew what to say because he knew his God and God was with him, When we know what God says about us and everything else, what Gods like, and how powerful He is, nothing that is said or happening really matters if its against what you know about God. Because He NEVER changes and is ALWAYS there for us.

I encourage you all, that if something is happening you dont understand or is hard, talk to us cell girls (while jaana is away)  get into your word (ask us if theres something specific you want to learn) because thats how we get th know God more, and pray, even asking us cell girls to pray for you is awesome just so you know your not alone :)

Love you girls so much and see you all tonight!!
