What do you get a God who has everything? - Job 22

If God is perfect in essence and has no need of anything, what do you get Him? What would you and I add to Him if we were strong for Him? Would that be an advantage for a God who has everything? If we were really smart and even brilliant and wise, would that add to a God who keeps mysteries from men? What if we were really, really kind, would God somehow benefit even though He is perfect in love, mercy and grace? God is perfect and therefore doesn't need anything we can bring Him. We do not add to God. This is the point Eliphaz is making in Job 22. He asks Job what advantage it would would be to God for him to be righteous? (22:2-3). We do not add to God. God didn't create Adam because Adam would fill a hole in God's heart. God created Adam (and therefore you and me) for one thing: Someone to honor Him and praise Him for His glory. That is our purpose in life - to glorify God - not to find our own meaning in life. We are to solve conflict because in so doing it will glorify God not free us from strife. We are to build positive relationships in harmony not because we will benefit but because it will bring glory to God. Eliphaz goes on to make the same argument all Job's friends have made from the beginning: If Job will but repent He will be restored (22:23). But, that is not the real point. The real point is that all this is being done in Job's life (and theirs) so that in the end and during the process, God will be glorified. We can't add to God - but we can give Him Glory.
