Thirdly, The Lord is the maker of every man in his spiritual state, as good, and holy, and gracious. (Ephes. 2.10.) We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works; till we are wrought by God, we can do none of Gods work, nor have we any mind to do it. Now when Elihu saith, My Maker would soon take me away, we may understand it in all these three senses; he that made me this body and soul, when I came into the world, he that ordered my way and state all this while that I have been in this world, he that formed me up into a new life, the life of Grace, and hath made me a new man in this and for another world. This my Maker would soon take me away.

Hence note.
It is good to remember God as our maker.
