Genesis 29:20 KJV
And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and
they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
The Bible summarizes seven
years of Jacob's life in one short verse. The passage is meant to convey the
power of love. Jacob happily served these seven years for Rachel.
But the passage also serves
to remind us of how quickly times, and with it, life, passes. Those seven
years:
- His father missed him
- His brother became
more passive and
- His mother died
Those years went by so
quickly but those years were packed with changes in the human condition.
Time escapes us. Too much
of it is frittered away with activities that have no value. While we let life
slip by countless souls pass into Christ-less hell.
