Most of God’s servants are unknown to the world. But I’d rather be a Who’s He? on earth and on God’s Who’s Who list in heaven. […]

November 20, 2025 — Rain Or Shine, God Is Mine!
The Lord can speak His “Shalom!” to the storm. Or, as the storm rages, He can speak peace to us! Elihu isn’t finished with the cloud motif. He’s portrayed the clouds as the paradoxical agents of God, sometimes bringing life-supporting rain, sometimes wreaking havoc. Now in Job 37:1-13, instead of speaking of the God who rules the […]

November 19, 2025 — The God Of The Clouds
“The Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet” (Nah 1:3). Do you feel it’s time for a parable? Elihu thinks so (Job 36:24-33). So sit back and relax. Look out at the sky and watch a magnificent storm rolling in. The young man […]
November 18, 2025 — How God Rescues The Afflicted
“In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them” (Isa 63:9). Some would say in the southern United States that in Job 36:16-23 Elihu has stopped preachin’ and gone to meddlin’. He is no longer speaking in general terms but is specifically addressing Job. The previous verse (v 15) says, “He […]

November 17, 2025 — A God Ready To Pardon
How motivating it is to know that the God of heaven is slow to anger but eager to forgive! We’ve now arrived at Elihu’s fourth and final speech. Although his contribution seems one long message subdivided by topics, this section is prefaced by the words, “Elihu also proceeded and said” (Job 36:1). You see something similar at […]
ETERNAL VIGILANCE — the price of safety
Sheep among wolves? Little lambs and a roaring lion? We can win this battle with our children but only if we’re winsome, wise, and watchful. […]
November 14, 2025 — Words In Vain
How can I have “the tongue of the learned” (Isa 50:4)? I’ll need first “to hear as the learned” from the Lord. The ability to form abstract thoughts into words and transfer them to other minds is a gift entrusted on earth only to humans. Thus, it’s a stewardship for which we will someday answer. In fact, “for every idle […]
Beautiful Feet
Jaffa, biblical Joppa, sits atop a hill jutting out into the sapphire Mediterranean, Israel’s ancient seaport and historic gateway to the world. Restored today, Old Jaffa’s cobblestone alleys wind past buildings older than America. Filled with art galleries and restaurants, the sights and smells are worth experiencing, but you probably couldn’t afford to live there. […]
November 13, 2025 — The Assumption Of Self-Righteousness
“One of the greatest rewards for serving God is the permission to do still more for Him.” —C.H. Spurgeon Elihu has been exposing Job’s wrong thinking about God. Now, in Job 35:1-8, he deals with Job’s wrong thinking about himself. Beautiful attributes are twisted into grotesque shapes when “self ” is added. Love? Self-love! Justification? […]
