Characteristics of maturity. Job 35:1-16. Elihu defends God's sovereignty. He points out Job's inconsistency (v. 1-3), then discusses man's inability to affect God because of His greatness (v. 4-8), and man's inability to influence God because of man's pride (v. 9-16). Express your frustrations to God and wait on His perfect answer (Lam 3:19-26).
