People revere him, for does he not have regard for all the wise in heart?

Job 37:1-24
God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding.
He brings the clouds to punish people, or to water his earth and show his love.
Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God’s wondersDo you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash?
Tell us what we should say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of our darkness. Should he be told that I want to speak? Would anyone ask to be swallowed up?
The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in powerin his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress. Therefore, people revere him, for does he not have regard for all the wise in heart?
God is great. He commands the thunder and lightning, rain and snow. He spreads out the clouds and the shining skies. We are as nothing beside God's awesome splendor, his unassailable holiness. We are right to fear him. He pays no attention to people who grow too big for their boots.
Why?
Elihu speaks without love but his proud, he tries to say his word to show he is a wise man, but if we talk without help to others, what we talk is meaningless.
God is great beyond us, and we are in darkness, so God does not have to answer us, but God is live, God is caring for us, through Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit our prayers may come before the Lord.

v1-13 提到天氣現象令人懼怕,冰雪中封住動物在洞內,顯出人何等渺小。各種天氣現象人並不知道。我們怎麼能和神同工呢?
v14-20  約伯一直要與神辯白,以利戶覺得這樣子的想法子是自取滅亡
v21-24 黑暗總會過去,天總會轉晴。神太可怕了。神的作為我們不能明白,自以為有智慧的人,神不顧念。以利戶重點1. 神是公義的 2.神是大有能力的,人只能敬畏順服。無論人遇到什麼有只有自己默默接受。但是這樣的神是冷酷無情的人,只能令人害怕,只能叫人遠離,不致親近。神與人親近如同父與子,如同夫妻,神喜歡人和祂說話。
我們要從聖經的觀點來看待神。

How?
