Job 34:14-15 | MHM | STEP | v. 14–15 : Elihu explains God’s power over life: If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; all flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust (Job 34:14–15 ). God could take away life at any moment, because it is His gift. We are alive only because God allows it. He does us no wrong if He takes back the life He gave, because we do not own it. This shows God’s absolute power and our need to trust His justice and wisdom.
