1. The mighty God does not despise men (36:1-33)

This is Elihu's 4th and final speech. He proclaims God's justice. Even though God is mighty, he does not despise men. His eyes are on the righteous. When those who suffer repent of sin and seek him, he blesses. But godless men become stubborn and bitter when they suffer. With rebellious hearts they persist in sin and reap its consequences. God's ways are beyond our understanding (26), but we cannot doubt that our Maker is both wise and just.

2. God's voice thunders in marvelous ways (37:1-24)

Elihu prepares Job to listen to God's voice out of the storm. Elihu is awestruck when he sees God's mighty hand in nature. God hurls lightning to the earth; he tells the rain to become a downpour which makes men stop work and run for cover. Elihu asks Job to stop and consider the mighty works of God (14). God is almighty; he is exalted in power, but he does not use his power to oppress. Therefore, we must revere and worship him.

Application: Lord, I praise your name, for you are great and good.
One Word: God is the Almighty Creator
