“Do not long for the night”
Job 36:1-25
Cliff Blair
In Job 36:5–21, Elihu teaches that God uses affliction not to destroy but to instruct, refine, and draw people to Himself, revealing the true condition of the heart. He warns that suffering presents a critical choice—either to trust and persevere in faith or to turn toward bitterness, unbelief, and despair.
