“Mortals, born of woman, are of few days and full of trouble." (vs 1) Job is being just a little pessimistic here. He's in a lot of pain and wants out. But, the truth is that we have more hope than the trees! They indeed will sprout again if you don't dig the roots out and burn them. But, so will we. Our days on earth are truly very short. But, for those who believe in the Lord, Jesus the Christ, they shall inherit eternal life.
There are so many scripture verses in the New Testament to support our eternal life, where can I point you. Probably the most well known verse is from John 3:16 (NIV). "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
" Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life." (John 12:23-25)
Life in this world may be short, but for those whose hope is in the LORD, even though we die at age 100, we are young, for we have inherited the eternal kingdom of God, through Jesus Christ, our LORD.
God's Peace - Pr. J.
P.S. For those who have not heard: Our dear brother in Christ, Chuck Mink died this past week. His funeral will be in Wisconsin where he has been on hospice for the past few weeks.
