God will answer - Job 35-36

Young Elihu continues his defense for God against Job and his three friends. While Job attempted to justify his own human righteousness before his friends; and, while his three friends attempted to imply that Job's circumstances were a result of some hidden sin, Elihu has sat by patiently. He is the picture of Christ. Elihu is there to intercede for God to "reveal" God's mysteries to Job. He is a type of Christ. He tells Job to wait patiently for God as God will deal with both the transgressor and the righteous, eventually. Elihu wants Job to know that he can't add to God via his self-proclaimed righteousness and he can't detract from God because he sins. God is powerful and does see the affairs of man. Elihu wants Job to wait on God. In the midst of any bad circumstance we often want to "do something." We want to try to squirm out of it or fight out of it or talk our way out of it. But, Elihu reminds us all to wait on God. God's timing is not our timing. He often gives "songs in the night" (35:10). We should rejoice in God's perfect timing not toss and turn in our own troubles. God is and will deal with the problems we face. Job's friends didn't tell Job to wait on God and see what God was doing in him and through him. Job did not tell his friends to just wait and see what God was doing. Instead of waiting on God they turned to self-reasoning and mental gymnastics. Trust in God and He will reveal His plan in His time.
