Job 42:16KJV
These sacred words illuminate a path where longevity is not merely a span of years, but a grace often bestowed upon a life well-lived – a life marked by reverence, wisdom sought diligently, and paths walked in righteousness. Yet, the true measure lies not in the length of days alone, but in their depth, in the cultivation of virtue, and in the pursuit of God's truth within the allotted time. For the gift of extended life, when granted, calls us to a deeper stewardship of soul and mind, offering more opportunity to grow in grace and to labor in His vineyard, viewing earthly years as precious preparation for the life that knows no end. Reflect then, not just on the promise of years, but on how each year granted can be consecrated to wisdom and love.
