Job 14:1,5 ” Man born of woman is of few days and full of trouble. Man’s days are determined; You have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed.”

Here Job is lamenting the futility and brevity of life. For ever since the Fall of Adam & Eve, mankind’s easy & peaceful existence has given way to frustration, turmoil, and commotion… our lifespan boundaries put into place & strictly enforced. Or as the Psalmist tells us, “Our days of existence are short and hard.” (Psalm 39:4) but we also know that God controls our destiny (Psalm 31:15) So we can then pray, “Teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12)
