Why You Must Endure

“Endurance is a muscle that God wants you to build” - Wesleyne

Job 14:2:

They spring up like flowers and wither away; like fleeting shadows, they do not endure.



This verse is part of Job's lamentation, wherein he compares human life to a transient flower or a passing shadow. The poetry of Job illustrates a profound awareness of the human condition, marked by frailty, brevity, and uncertainty. The imagery of a flower that blooms and then quickly fades away symbolizes the temporal nature of human life and the ephemeral quality of our existence. It offers a perspective that contrasts sharply with the eternity and permanence of God, making human life seem insignificant and fleeting in comparison. Today, you will learn about the transient nature of human existence and be prompted into a deep reflection on how you approach life. Recognizing the brevity of life can lead to a sense of urgency and purpose, as you understand that your time on earth is limited. 

You will be invited to contemplate the value and meaning of your life and be encouraged to seek what is truly significant. The comparison to a fleeting shadow suggests that human pursuits, particularly those focused solely on material or superficial concerns, are temporary and ultimately inconsequential. This perspective will challenge you to focus on what endures, such as virtues, relationships, and spiritual growth. In recognizing your fragility, you may also find a sense of humility and dependence on the divine, acknowledging that your life is part of a larger cosmic order guided by a higher power.
