"Read the history books and see - for we were born but yesterday and know so little, our days here on earth are as transient as shadows. But the wisdom of the past will teach you. The experience of others will speak to you..."- Job 8:8-10 (TLB).
Do we know it all? Though Bildad's assumptions of Job losing everything were wrong, this is an important thing for us to look at. The past can teach us much. Looking to what God has done throughout the lives of others is an investment we all need in our own lives.
God help us to allow ourselves to be invested in through the past so as to strengthen our future. For our lives are "as transient as shadows." Amen.
