GOD GOODNESS PROCLAIMED

 

GOD GOODNESS PROCLAIMED

Job 36:1-12  

Elihu proclaimed the blessing of the righteous.  Self-righteousness was condemned in the previous chapter Job 35.  Now Elihu spoke on behalf of God’s and was prophetic in nature.

Firstly Elihu mentioned about righteousness saying “I will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.” Two thousand year and more he mentioned about God’s righteousness that he will ascribe or give the attributes and belongings to God. And mention also that “God does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous.”

v. 7 “… and the righteous are on the throne with kings for they have seated and exalted in power.  In Revelation 1:6 says that Jesus who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood has made us kings and priests to His God the Father.

Secondly Job 36:5 “Behold God is mighty, but despises no one; He is mighty in strength and of understanding.”  We are serving a God who despises and condemn no one. If we have sinned then “God tells them their work and their transgression” Jesus is sent for this purpose to redeem us from sin.

Thirdly, Job 36:10 says, “God also opens their spiritual ears to instruction and commands that they turn from iniquity.  If they obey and serve Him then they shall spend their days in prosperity and years in pleasures.”

What a revelation of God and mercy in God to lead mankind back to Jesus grace and bless them with prosperity and pleasures.

Fourthly, Job 36:26 says “Behold, God is great, and we do not know Him…”  How come Job says that “we do not know Him” yet until Jesus came into the world that all the prophetic revelation of truth Elihu spoke by the Spirit has answer the questions of how great is our God and yet we do not know Him.

Yes what Elihu was speaking for God saying that God has given us righteousness and seated with Him (Jesus) in power and glory and made us kings and priests to serve Him and obey Him.  God has also open our ears to His Word that we turn from sin and as we obey Him and serve Him. And we will prosper our way in years to come. What a powerful revelation of God’s Goodness proclaimed for us as believers to see His Greatness and power.

May the blessings of God prosper you greatly in 2024, Amen!
