Hey Bible Readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.

Today we got to hear from good old Eliphaz again.

That's right, bad friend number one is back to double down on his busted theology.

But before he starts talking, Job has some good things to say.

In 14.5, Job says man's days are determined.

You know that phrase, your days are numbered?

If you've ever heard someone say that in conversation, they're probably using it as a threat.

Maybe just a joke threat.

They'll say, your days are numbered, buddy.

But in the grand scheme of things, that's no threat to me.

It's a promise and a comfort.

Job said to God, you have appointed man's limits that he cannot pass.

I love that God is sovereign over my lifespan.

Each day is appointed and my life will last the exact amount of time He has determined.

The exact amount.

No more, no less.

That's a great comfort to me.

Because listen, if He's done with me here, I don't want to be here anymore.

Let's get this show on the road.

I'm ready to go.
