When you are truly in need it can be a really difficult thing to listen to someone who is full of themselves. Elihu seems to be such a man, full of pride. He listened to the arguments of Job’s friends and was frustrated that they failed to move Job. So now, it is his turn. Elihu’s name means “He is my God” in Hebrew, and it’s interesting to note that Elihu isn’t mentioned in the closing verses of Job like the other men are. This has prompted some scholars to suggest that Elihu’s words represent a later argument that was added in for a new generation of readers. But I think that Elihu’s words have been preserved so that we can see how pride works its way into our hearts. Pride is an enemy of our soul; it is the beginning of destruction. None of us should ever give into pride, its draw is so great, but its end is awful.

many times it is not. We look both ways before crossing a busy street for fear of being hit by a
car. That is a healthy fear. Some of us fear the discipline of God, or even His wrath. That is a very

Pleasure; Psalms 15-18
Pleasure is such a powerful, dominating sensation that it often overrides our reason and decisions. Some people will do anything for immediate gratification. But intense pleasure is not evil in itself because God designed us to feel pleasure. The problem is when we desire great pleasure for our o...
