Elihu introduces a consoling thought … that God woos us to Himself “from the jaws of distress to a spacious place free from restriction, to the comfort of your table laden with choice food.”

The Psalmist said, “You would be fed with the finest of wheat; (and) with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.” [Ps. 81:16]

So many lament over the pleasures of sin they must forego to serve the Lord.

Hogwash. The pleasures of sin are cheap substitutes for the riches of God available to the saints.

PRAYER: Lord, forgive me for wanting the things of this life. I will look to You and the rewards both here and in the hereafter.
