1. The Spirit gives understanding (32:1-22)

Elihu makes four speeches in chapters 32-37. He is the one whom God does not rebuke (42:7,9). He hesitated to speak because of his youth. But he is like a new wineskin, ready to burst. He is angry with Job because Job is righteous in his own eyes. He is angry with the three friends because they condemn Job but do not really answer him. Elihu has something to say. If God's Spirit is in a man, then his age doesn't matter.

2. God does speak (33:1-33)

Elihu admits that he is also made of clay, just like Job. No man is pure and sinless. God is greater than man. God does speak to man--in many ways. God's purpose is always to turn a man from sin and save his soul (18). Every man needs a mediator--but there is only one mediator between God and man (1Ti 2:5). God restores suffering men; then they realize that they are sinners. When God redeems one's soul, he lives to enjoy the light.

Application: Lord, thank you for Jesus, our only mediator. Thank you for redeeming my soul.
One Word: God redeems the soul
