How great is God—beyond our understanding!

Job 36:1-33
God is mighty, but despises no one; he is mighty, and firm in his purpose. He does not keep the wicked alive but gives the afflicted their rights. He does not take his eyes off the righteous; he enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever. But if they do not listen, they will perish by the sword and die without knowledge.
He is wooing you from the jaws of distress to a spacious place free from restriction, to the comfort of your table laden with choice food.
God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him? Who has prescribed his ways for him, or said to him, ‘You have done wrong’?
How great is God—beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out.
God is almighty, all-wise. He is a teacher who uses suffering to open our ears to listen and learn where we have gone wrong. Job should not be longing for death but learning his lesson.
Why?
Elihu once again criticizes Jon is evil men so he suffering God's punishment.
Yes, How great is God - beyond our understanding, but we can not help the Lord to answer the questions. God will give us an answer by His way.

以利戶可以說是最狂傲的。
v1- 17: 神是為了救人脫離罪惡,所以讓人遇見苦難。用苦難提醒人。剛硬的心柔軟,所以意表要接受犯罪的事實
v18-21: 約伯原來有錢,以為用錢可以贖出來嗎?不要晚上就可以得救。許多進香團好像都是晚上出發,其實是黑暗的勢力,說起來好像比較涼快。
v22- 33 :要讚美神,神奇妙的作為是不明白的。超越人所能想像的。以利戶此時已經很接近神要講的,比其他三人,高出一等,知道人無法揣測神的道路。可惜他仍然套用原來的想法,即約伯仍然是有罪的,要認罪的。
約伯記的五個人說話很像教會中人所說的話。講的似乎都沒有錯。似乎蠻有神的智慧,然而就到此為止。我們一直把所知道的東西再拿出來反思。更多反省思考。是否正確?求神幫助我們,讓我們自己反思,如果我們看到片面的,卻以為是全面的,那麼我們就只能到這裏為止。

How?
Honor the Holy name of the Lord with all my heart, my mind and my strength!
