"Oh, remember that my life is a breath! My eye will never again see good." ~Job 7:7~

Oh, my Job...how well can I identify with your feelings here. So many days, my life feels like it may never again see good. Too often I'm reminded that life is only a fleeting breath and passing me by. Job, I know this day in chapter 7 was the darkest imaginable. I know your heart ached with loneliness and grief. I know you thought you could not face another second in this life alone, not another moment to face those circumstances. I've known these same days in chapt 7 of my life.....I'm just so glad that we know the end of your story. I'm glad your life wasn't over in the 7th chapter, but that God Almighty somehow, some way found a way to inject hope into your heart to endure until restoration arrived. Oh, God, help me see that there are many more chapters yet to be written into my life! Don't let my heart faint within me! Yes, my life is just a breath, so don't let me take it for granted! I want to soak it up! And I want to live with hope in my heart of the chapters yet to come, when my restoration arrives. "Then Job answered the Lord and said: I know that You can do everything and that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You. You asked Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful from me, which I did not know" ~Job 42:1-3
