“Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.” (Job 14:1)
To be born of a woman means to enter a fallen and broken world marked by pain, weakness, sorrow, and death. From the womb, humanity inherits the reality of suffering because sin has touched every corner of creation.
Job reminds us that life is “of few days,” meaning our existence is counted carefully by God. Life moves quickly; yesterday feels near while tomorrow is never guaranteed. We measure life not by how many years we hope for, but by how fragile each day truly is.
Yet this truth is not meant to terrify us, it is meant to awaken us. Since life is short, we must love deeply, forgive quickly, encourage sincerely, and walk humbly with God. Hatred wastes precious days. Pride steals eternal purpose. Bitterness poisons the little time we have on earth.
Those born only of a woman face trouble with human strength alone. Fear overwhelms them, suffering crushes them, and hopelessness consumes them. But those born of God through spiritual rebirth walk differently. As Jesus Christ taught, we must be born again. Those born of God still face trials, but they receive divine help, sustaining grace, and heavenly peace. Suffering no longer destroys them; it transforms them into vessels of faith and endurance.
Jesus came from above to lift those born below. Through Him, fragile humanity receives eternal life, and troubled souls become children of God.
To God be the glory
