Then Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, burned with anger. He burned with anger at Job because he justified himself rather than God.
Job 32: 2We can get into trouble whenever we make it about us rather than God. Job focused on what he had done, what he had said, and how he had lived, but he was coerced into this thinking by his stupid friends.
Finally, there is a young one, a clear thinker, one whom they would not expect real answers or real hope to come from, who speaks words of wisdom.
In essence, Job, it's not about you; you have made this about you. It is about God.
When we make our churches about people, our families about us, our work about us, and our decisions based on "us" and our best, we miss out on what is really happening in the universe.
So, what is this day about for you? Why?
