| "Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace; thereby good shall come unto thee." Job 22:21 "Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace" is a gracious invitation and a good invitation. It is the invitation which God gives to us. The Lord Jesus said the same thing in the New Testament, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). Eliphaz said this was the way to have peace with God. Also Paul says, "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1). "Thereby good shall come unto thee" is true also. However, we must remember that "good" means what will be good for us. Sometimes that means discipline when we need it. God sees you ~ He loves you ~ He knows you! Seek Him ~ Love Him ~ Remember Him! God Bless You. |
