God Speaks Through Suffering: Job 32–33
Show Summary
In today’s episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, we examine Job 32–33 as a new voice enters the
conversation—Elihu. After Job’s three friends fall silent, Elihu speaks with humility, conviction, and a sincere desire to explain God’s purpose in suffering.
In Job 32, we see the limits of human explanations and the need for Spirit-given wisdom. In Job 33, Elihu explains that God is not silent—He speaks through warnings, providence, and even suffering to awaken, humble, and restore. At the heart of Elihu’s message is the hope of a mediator and a ransom, pointing us ultimately to Jesus Christ, the true Mediator who redeems sinners and restores fellowship with God.
