Elihu is now ending his speech to Job with an exhortation to him to stand still and consider the wondrous works of God. Consider, Job, the wondrous works of God in creation. And consider Job, the wondrous works of God in His Providence. For if you cannot understand how God does these works, then how shall you begin to understand what He is doing with you here in regard to this most amazing and awful situation that you are in? What I would like to do in this message is to have you consider the wondrous works of God which are mentioned here, in relation to Christ. Christ is not mentioned here explicitly in these verses, but I would like to link together what we can. When we think of the physical creation and all that the Father has done through the Son, we ought also to think of the spiritual or New Creation, the work of the Father in His giving of the Son. When we do this we will find great profit coming to us from these verses as we come to the Lord's Table. We want to consider 1st of all – God's wondrous work of the light in the clouds in relation to Christ. (verses 14-16) 2nd – God's wondrous work of quieting the earth by the south wind in relation to Christ. (verses 17-20) And 3rd – God's wondrous work of His creating a godly fear in our hearts. (verses 21-24) As we consider these things, let us think also of what Christ came to do for us as sinners, so that we might come to know God, and as the years go by, to know Him better.
