What Does Job 36:24 Mean?

Elihu calls Job to a deliberate act of worship: to remember to magnify, to make much of, the works of God that people everywhere have looked upon. Instead of disputing, Job is summoned to praise.

To magnify God's work is to let creation lift the heart toward its Maker. This is a healing counsel for the sufferer, turning the gaze outward and upward. All such wonder finds its center in the One through whom and for whom all things were made, in whom God's greatest work is seen.
