God Spoke Wisdom Through Elihu [Job 32]

1Then these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

 2But the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram burned; against Job his anger burned because he justified himself before God.

 3And his anger burned against his three friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

 4Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were years older than he.

 5And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men his anger burned.


 

Finally, Job and his three friends quit speaking and another voice spoke out, that of Elihu. He was a young man who patiently listened to the debate between Job and His friends. No one knows exactly who Elihu was. Some say he was the pre-incarnate Jesus and some say he was a young relative of Job's who came to see how Job was doing and ended up staying to hear what these older men had to say. There are other theories about this mysterious young man who suddenly began to speak when the others finally were quiet. The passage above described him as angry at both Job and the three friends. His passion spilled over as he answered both sides of the argument. He was a voice of reason and clarity that was missing. Although, he spoke in his anger, he was controlled and honoring of the older men. His anger became a positive thing as it motivated him to speak the truth instead of giving into his shyness. In my experience, more often than not, anger can be a negative force in a conversation, however. It is always good to talk to God and deal with your anger before you speak because it can do more damage if not under God's control.


 

Whenever there is a conflict, rarely is either side right on. Usually, each side is partially right and partially wrong. Just look at our political parties right now and you see a perfect example of how messed up both sides can be. Some are bringing God into the mudslinging as if their side is somehow better because God is with them. Meanwhile, there are political shenanigans going on in the background in both parties. 


 

God often provides us people with clarity and impartiality who can bring true wisdom to a situation. Identifying and cultivating relationships with these people can greatly help us in our life journey. In Job's case, the wisdom was given through a young and unlikely person. In the end, God, Himself, also spoke to the situation and provided further clarity to the men involved. Growing in seeking and hearing God for all of your life situations will ultimately enable you to live an abundant and fulfilled life even in the midst of crisis and strife.


 

We praise You, God, that You provide what we need in our crisis. Thank you for the wise people who can give clarity and understanding, but most of all, thank you for providing Jesus so that we have complete access to You and Your perfect wisdom. Cause us to seek wisdom in all the areas of our lives.
