What Does Job 22:27 Mean?

Eliphaz continues the picture of restored fellowship: Job will pray and God will hear, and Job will pay the vows he makes. Prayer answered and vows fulfilled mark a life walking in glad communion with God.

What a mercy it is that God hears prayer. The promise that He listens to His people is among the dearest in all Scripture, fulfilled finally through the One who ever lives to intercede for us. To pray and be heard, and then to keep our promises to God in grateful response, is the rhythm of a faithful life. The Lord bends His ear to the cry of those who seek Him, and no sincere prayer rises to Him in vain.
