“Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: He is excellent in power, and in judgment, And in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. Men do therefore fear him: He respecteth not any that are wise of heart.”
Job 37:23-24 KJV
Elihu directs Job to the greatness of Who God is, “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach! Unsurpassable in power and justice! It’s unthinkable that He’d treat anyone unfairly. So bow to Him in deep reverence, one and all! If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship Him.” God is so great that mere mortal can never comprehend His awesomeness, but can only bow in reverence! But the mercy of God is beyond anything, that He chose His Son Jesus to identify with us mortal beings. Jesus Christ the Son of God left His glory and stooped down to become the Son of Man! What a wonder this is! So then, we must cling in faith to all we know to be true. For we have a magnificent King-Priest, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who rose into the heavenly realm for us, and now sympathizes with us in our frailty. He understands humanity, for as a Man, our magnificent King-Priest was tempted in every way just as we are, and conquered sin. So now we draw near freely and boldly to where grace is enthroned, to receive mercy’s kiss and discover the grace we urgently need to strengthen us in our time of weakness. What grace, what mercy, what love! Amen!
