Day 278..."Elihu chimes in...helping the weak"

Another person chimes in on the Job situation. After Job seeks to justify himself in a "windy" use of words, Elihu blasts Job for one primary reason...he justifies himself. The Scripture says..."He burned with anger at Job because he justified himself rather than God." Is this not easy in religion to justify ourself and context? Jeremiah again states the reason for the punishment of the people..."Why has the Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? What is our iniquity? What is the sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?’ then you shall say to them: ‘Because your fathers have forsaken me, declares the Lord, and have gone after other gods and have served and worshiped them, and have forsaken me and have not kept my law, and because you have done worse than your fathers, for behold, every one of you follows his stubborn, evil will, refusing to listen to me. Therefore I will hurl you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you shall serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’" This teaching seems redundant. Is this because the people kept forsaking God? Even after such a statement...Jeremiah states a better day is coming in hope he writes about the Lord will restoring Israel. In Romans, Paul speaks of helping the weak..."We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak." What a wonderful teaching of Paul. How good are we in our country? In our church? In our lives? Are we able to help the weak?
