On Day 154 of our "Bible in a Year" journey, we cover Job 32-34. Elihu, a younger bystander, breaks his silence, angered by Job’s friends’ failure to answer and Job’s claims of innocence. He argues that God is just, using suffering to discipline and refine, urging Job to recognize divine wisdom in his trials.

Questions:
1. Elihu’s youthful passion in chapter 32 contrasts with the elders’ silence—how does his boldness challenge us to consider the role of fresh perspectives in seeking truth, while remaining humble before God’s wisdom?

2. Elihu’s claim in chapter 33 that God speaks through suffering to save—how might this perspective prompt us to reflect on the purpose of trials in drawing us closer to God, even when His ways seem mysterious?

3. In chapter 34, Elihu defends God’s perfect justice—how does his argument invite us to wrestle with the tension between affirming God’s righteousness and grappling with the apparent unfairness of suffering in our lives?
