Moments in time
Job 7:1 New English Translation (NET Bible)
The Brevity of Life
7 “Does not humanity have hard service on earth?
Are not their days also like the days of a hired man?
"Every" day, for someone, a year has gone by here or there
Time moves at its own pace so no one can slow it down
Slowly stacking up in the inner and outer atmosphere
For some it is a race and for some an ageless crown
Reality is timeless as it passes slowly into history
Underdeveloped uncertainties drawing all attention
Thinking it to be thoughtlessly focused in on misery
As in an uncontrollable quantity itself always mentions
Being set free in-deed from our self-imposed jails
Roaming between the walls to protect us from another
Wishing all God’s speed out of habit without any fail
To show that our call will not get us any farther
