Job 33:1-33
“But you have said in my hearing— I heard the very words— ‘I am pure, I have done no wrong; I am clean and free from sin. Yet God has found fault with me; he considers me his enemy. He fastens my feet in shackles; he keeps close watch on all my paths.’
“But I tell you, in this you are not right, for God is greater than any mortal. Why do you complain to him that he responds to no one’s words?
If you have anything to say, answer me; speak up, for I want to vindicate you. But if not, then listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
Job has declared himself the innocent victim of God; but God will not answer his charge. Elihu says God speaks to us through warning dreams and through suffering - in order to save, not destroy us.
Why?
God warns us in many ways, and God's wisdom beyond us. But Elihu still said the wrong word, that we can not answer anything for the Lord.
God is greater than any mortal so no one can imitate the mind of the Lord.

以利戶反駁約伯說神攻擊人。神要教導提醒人,但是人不聽,所以神用苦難來教導人,為了救人脫離深坑,走在神的道路。脫胎換骨。
如以色列人一直在拜偶像。次救恩的觀點很接近約伯。但是約伯不是走到了盡頭。因為約伯並沒有行惡,自以為有智慧來指責約伯。他們根本沒有答案,卻不願意承認。
神很多事情不對人說,說了人也停不懂。我們不明白的是屬於神。神告訴我們的事就是我們該知道與遵行。人想知道卻難遵循。我不知道明日將如何,但是我知道主掌管明天
How?
Be humble and honor the name of the Lord, carefully listen to the Holy Spirit.
