Important reminder for myself I read last night

Dost thou, a mortal, take command of the day’s breaking, and shew the dawn its appointed post, twitching away earth’s coverlet, scaring away the ill-doers?  The dawn, that stamps its image on the clay of earth; stands there, flung over it like a garment, taking away from the ill-doers the darkness that is their light, so that all their power goes for nothing. Didst thou ever make thy way into the sea’s depths, walk at thy ease through its hidden caverns? When did the gates of death open to thee, and give thee sight of its gloomy threshold? Nay, hast thou viewed the whole surface of earth itself? Tell me, if such knowledge is thine, all its secrets; where the light dwells, where darkness finds its home; hast thou followed either of these to the end of its journey, tracked it to its lair? Didst thou foresee the time of thy own birth, couldst thou foretell the years of life that lay before thee?
- Job 38:12-21
