32:14 For God does speak—now one way, now another—
though no one perceives it.
Young Elihu seems pretty wise. He is kind of putting all 4 of them in their place. He makes the above statement which is good to remember. I may pray about something and get frustrated because He doesn't seem to be listening or answering, but He will or has already.
Elihu points out God always answers us---though we may not be smart enough to even notice, and He does it in His time not ours. I do want to strive for the kind of relationship where I know and feel His presence. I want to be able to frequently observe His answers to my thoughts and concerns--I'm guessing likely there will be some level of understanding that will always be beyond me like Elihu suggests.

I can picture the scene....like a movie. The young one staying quiet in the corner, thinking he'll hear something he can learn from. And then finally when he doesn't hear anything he deems worthy.....he jumps in with both feet. You're right. He does seem wise. He seems to have a good understanding. I love one of his opening lines.

God is far greater than any human.
So how dare you haul him into court,
and then complain that he won’t answer your charges?
I think sometimes we forget the AWESOMENESS of God, and his immenseness!
wow you went to town today!
