I. His BEING, as here presented. Elihu points our attention to three great facts concerning this Great Being.

1. He is mighty. "Behold, God exalteth by His power."

2. He is independent. "Who hath enjoined Him His way?" He is amenable to no one beyond Himself.

3. He is righteous. "Who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?"

4. He is adorable. "Remember that thou magnify His work, which men behold." Man is here called upon to adore Him in His works, which are visible to all.

5. He is incomprehensible.

(1) In His nature. He is the fathomless mystery.

(2) Incomprehensible in His duration. "Neither can the number of His years be searched out." Notice —

II. His AGENCY as here presented. His agency both in the mental and the material domains is here referred to.

1. His agency in the mental realm. He is a Teacher. "Who teacheth like Him?" He is an incomparable Teacher.

(1) He teaches the best lessons.

(2) He teaches the best lessons in the best way.

(a)  By symbols. All the works of nature are the symbols, the hieroglyphics He employs. "The heavens declare Thy glory," etc.

(b)  By example. "He bowed the heavens and came down," and He acted out His grand lessons in the life of a wonderful Man — the Man Christ Jesus.

(3) He teaches the best lessons in the best way for the best purpose. He does not teach as men teach, in order to make their pupils craftsmen, merchants, artists, and to qualify them for getting on in this life; He teaches in order to make them men, fit them for eternity.

2. His agency in the material realm. Four ideas are suggested here concerning His agency in nature. It is —

(1)  Minute.

(2)  Inscrutable.

(3)  Moral.

(4)  Often terrible.

(Homilist.)
