These words were spoken in a moment of deep depression. Job's emotions went back and forth from faith to bleak despair. We can think of our lives as slender candles. Once the wick has been consumed, there is no more time remaining. Those who have spent their lives with no regard for God and eternity are making a bed of darkness for themselves.
This is also true for those who are obsessed with making money and spending it on themselves. What kind of hope is that? Rather than trivialize our lives, let's concern ourselves with eternal matters. Begin today to prepare for yourself a bed of hope.
Culled from The Bible.
