Here comes Elihu again—and this time, he’s reminding us of something beautiful about God: He doesn’t play favorites.
In a world that tends to rank people by how much they make, who they know or what they post online, this verse lands like a deep breath. God doesn’t value one person over another based on status, income or resume. He sees the heart. He sees the soul. He sees His workmanship in everyone.
And that means we’re called to see that way, too.
This might look like letting go of the little snap judgments we make every day—the ones we don’t even say out loud. Like assuming someone’s lazy because of the time they wake up, side-eyeing how someone chooses to spend their money or brushing off someone because their lifestyle doesn’t line up with yours.
It might also look like untangling envy. That coworker with the corner office? That mom who seems to do it all effortlessly? You don’t need to compare or compete. You are both fully known and fully loved by the same God.
So, how do we live this out?
Start by slowing down your thoughts. Ask God to show you where bias might be creeping in. Look people in the eye. Really listen. Be generous with kindness—not just to those who are easy to love, but to those who are often overlooked.
Because to God, there’s no such thing as “less than.” There’s only beloved.
Let’s carry that truth into how we speak, how we give, how we lead and how we live.
