Job 33

"Look, in this you are not righteous.
I will answer you,
For God is greater than man.
13 Why do you contend with Him?
For He does not give an accounting of any of His words.
14 For God may speak in one way, or in another,
Yet man does not perceive it." vv.12-14

Way to go Elihu!  Way to call out Job even though he is older.  It's an intimidating thing sometimes but when you know God's truth you should not hold back. When we hear any thing said to God's dishonor  we ought to bear our testimony against it. Job had represented God as severe in marking what he did wrongly. Job, and us, act very foolishly and presumptuously in contending with Him, and questioning his judgments. We forget our distance from Him, and cast off fear and awe which we should constantly maintain toward the Sovereign Lord.  God is greater than man not only in majesty and power, which Job acknowledged, but also in justice, wisdom, and goodness; and, therefore, He ought to be treated with greater reverence. 

God has His own ways of speaking to man and which weren't the ways Job was expecting; sometimes it may be silent and secretly and other times in loud and thunderous might.  Man cannot always perceive it, even through scripture we see great prophets like Samuel questioning if it was God's voice he heard.  How do you know if you've heard God speak?  Do you know His truth and character to discern if it's His voice or not you're hearing?
