My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.

Who is God's Pitch-man? Job 35-36
Job 36:2 - "Wait for me a little, and I will show you That there is yet more to be said in God’s behalf." Elihu is a spokesperson for God. What a great gig. Our society today is familiar with the concept of a "pitch-man." From underwear to outwear and from how to grow grass to how to ride in comfort we are to believe these "credible" pitch-men who entice us to buy their employers products. Odds are that up to that point the pitch-man him/herself has never really used the product, or, at the least, preferred the product over the competitor's merchandise. It is purely a "money" thing. You pay a celebrity enough money to pitch something and they suddenly believe it in. Move the decimal point in the money they are getting a few spots to the left and eliminate some zeros and they will be less incline to believe the product is worth pitching. Here in our text we see that Elihu is a great pitch-man for God. He believes in his "product" and believes what he is saying about God is not only true, but also only half the story. There is "more" to be said on God's behalf. God has so much we can talk about that we seldom really exhaust the limits of His character. Yet, with all that power and presence in the universe God has chosen us to be his pitch-man. WE are HIs chosen voice box. OUR credibility is based upon what He has done for us and in us. He is our voice. We are his conduit. Let's be the perfect pitch-man. In our society we see every day when someone like Buick drops the pitch-man Tiger Woods for credibility issues. God will never drop us. He work simply improve us until our "pitch" is heard. Let's commit to being better pitch-men for God. There is more to say on His behalf.
