...... But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding....Job 32:8-Part 1

There is this story in the book of Job 32, of a young man, Elihu, whom God used to prove that, age is not wisdom: and that great men are not always wise, nor do the aged always understand justice. This chapter, makes me always ask the LORD to please raise the company of Elihu in our generation. Especially, when I hear news of young ones that are into all manner of evil vices and atrocities. Elihu, was a youth with the fear of God, had a discerning spirit, filled with wisdom, respectful, knew when to interrupt elders, listened carefully before acting, knew the WORD of God, not rude. He was a friend of Job, but younger. Though, he came in a bit late, the three friends of Job were already reviling him, throwing hurtful words at him. He decided not to jump into their discussions. He sat quietly in a corner, listening and weighing their words. The man Job, from chapter one of the Book of Job was temporarily passing through God's examination, so that He GOD could promote him - (lost all he had - human/material resources). The three friends of Job heard of his calamity & decided to come visit, and to console him. Rather, the visit turned out to be a debate of mockery & condemnation on Job. Are you like the three friends of Job who go to the house of mourning to rejoice because of secret envy? Are you like these three unfriendly friends, who pretend to sympathize, and yet filled with laughter within? In the Name of the Lord Jesus, I pray that no calamity will befall us that will make people to come to us to say "sorry". Have a rethink, children of the Most High. God knows, He sees, He ears and the heart of man is open before Him always.

While these three friends, Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar continued in their self-righteous debate against Job: making him to bleed the more, the Lord Himself was annoyed of these three friends. The Spirit of the Almighty God then came upon Elihu (probably of about 20 - 25years of age). He was listening with rapt attention, no interruption. I pray you will not be a distraction, especially to the growth of this wonderful steemit community showing a godly way to the youth how they can be self sufficient. GOD Bless the visioner of STEEMIT.........When he, Elihu saw that these three friends were not making sense v. 5, the Spirit of God spilled out in him, and politely interrupted, even in anger not only against the three friends, but against Job who justified himself rather than GOD v. 2 & 3. Then in v. 6 - 7, he said .."I am young in years, and you are very old; therefore I was afraid and dared not declare my opinion to you, I said age should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom, v. 8..but there is a spirit in man and the breath of the Almighty gives wisdom. He then continued in v. 9 - that, great men are not always wise nor do the aged always understand justice"..hmmm.... watch out for the second part of this story of this young man, Elihu. Thanks for your time.
