[Discoveries] 06-12-07 Benefit to God

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*Can a man be of benefit to God? -- Job 22:2*/

Yes. The answer is yes. Eliphaz assumes the answer is no, and structures 
his argument around it. But he is wrong.

As this conversation between Job and his three friends continues, they 
seem to become more and more disconnected with who Job really is and who 
God really is. Eliphaz paints a picture of a stern God aloof from human 
existence, intervening only to provide swift and terrible justice.

Pastor Cho of South Korea said, "Most people think God has no needs. 
They are wrong. God is love. Because He is love, He has a tremendous 
need for fellowship."

We can be of benefit to God. Not that He is somehow incomplete or 
inadequate without us. But rather, we each have a place in God's heart, 
and each of us adds a unique flavor to God's eternal celebration.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
