Job 7:1-4, 6-7
“1
Is not human life on earth just conscript service? Do we not live a hireling’s life?
2 Like a slave, sighing for the shade, or a hireling with no thought but for his wages,
3 I have months of futility assigned to me, nights of suffering to be my lot.
4 Lying in bed I wonder, ‘When will it be day?’ No sooner up than, ‘When will evening come?’ And crazy thoughts obsess me till twilight falls.
6 Swifter than a weaver’s shuttle my days have passed, and vanished, leaving no hope behind.
7 Remember that my life is but a breath, and that my eyes will never again see joy.
“
We often find ourselves dwindling the idea of life being easier for us.We think
about how we wish for
that “easy button” just like in the Staples commercial. Where obstacles are simplified with no problems getting through. But life wouldn’t be so educating if we don’t make mistakes and learn from it.
Since my pregnancy I didn’t anticipated not working when my child was born. It wasn’t till I finally went back where it was realized my child needed me more. We work hard to make ends meet. Others work thier entire life like robots dreading each passing day. Same ‘ol routine every morning, you wake up, groan its another day, wished its already the end of the day, sleep and wake up again. Its rare to find a person who is completely devoted to their job, no questions asked. I remembered few years ago I used to love going to work, its all I could think of. I would rather be at work than being at home. Sometimes the people you work with makes it a lot easier, a little better.
But I think what we really fail to do is see the light on how God can make our life easier if we just surrender ourselves to him. To have faith with him. We would see the brighter side of things maybe we can even get that strength we are looking for to deal with hardships in life. If we give our time to God, just like how he bet his life to us, we could get answers or prayers we needed answering.
