DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
Stories abound about dictators who wanted to perpetuate themselves in power. In 44 BC, Julius Caesar was named dictator for life (dictator perpetual) of Rome. North Korea’s revered founder, Kim Il-Sung, ordered his doctors to find a way to make him live to 100, taking treatments that ranged from the bizarre to the sinister to stay young. Kim So-Yeon, his personal physician for many years before she defected to South Korea in 1992, led research at a “Longevity Centre” set up to help in Kim’s quest for a longer life, according to a CNN report. It didn’t work – he died at 82.
Man may propose, but God makes the ultimate decision. Nothing exists in perpetuity. Elihu, one of the three argumentative friends of Job, made the remark about the brevity of life. His narrative about man’s attempt to control others oppressively wasn’t exactly applicable to Job, who was a righteous man, by God’s own confession. His statement, nonetheless, is a clear fact about the futility of man’s attempt to remain in the spotlight forever. Elihu expanded his remarks by honouring the supremacy of God, who sees the ways of men and retains the divine ability to superintend over our affairs. God possesses the unique ability to bring an end to the regime of proud dictators, who wish to oppress their subjects forever.
This chapter offers significant insights for leaders who maintain a proud demeanour in their interactions. Reflecting on the downfalls of historical dictators serves as a crucial reminder for contemporary leaders. While the advice from Job’s friends may not have alleviated his suffering, their observations on the fleeting nature of life and the eventual consequences of wickedness provide valuable lessons that can inform our own lives and decisions.
The dialogue surrounding Job reveals several profound lessons. It emphasises that God is just and will reward everyone based on their deeds, regardless of status. Additionally, it reflects on the fleeting nature of life, urging humility and repentance to seek God’s mercy. The text advocates against oppression and encourages living a life that, when death comes, even the undertakers will feel sorry.
Ultimately, it calls for emulating the humility and compassion of Jesus Christ, which draws many into His grace.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The thought of our own death should keep us humble.
