“But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.”
Elihu, the youngest, waited patiently while the elders spoke — and now he offers a perspective none of them brought.
Elihu challenges the assumption that wisdom comes only with age — God can give understanding to whomever He chooses, regardless of years lived.
There is something placed by God inside every person that enables them to grasp truths beyond their own experience.
The source of understanding isn't human — it's God's own breath that gives life and discernment to the human spirit.
If God can give understanding to anyone, then it's worth listening even to voices we assume are less experienced or qualified.
Act: before making an important decision today, pray and ask God for the understanding that comes from Him, not only from your own experience.
