things happen. We can expect that Jesus will come again very soon.
2Ki 20:1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the
prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him,
Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
Yesterday I was
listening to the current vitals on our local radio station. This is a program
that lists deaths, birthdays and births. They were giving the name of a person
who died. What caught my attention was it stated that the death was unexpected.
I have been thinking about that ever since I heard it. The death was
unexpected. Did she plan never to die? Did it not fit into her daily plan of
things to do? what was she planning on doing if she didn't die. I know that
they were saying was,it was not from a expected illness.
Maybe
we should purpose, not let death be unexpected.
Gods word tells
us in:
Heb 9:27 And as it is
appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
When we die, we need to plan to face God with our decesions we made in our lifetime. We
will be giving an accounting for what we have done.
Nor too long ago,
John's grandma died. I have no doubt but that she is walking the streets of
gold today. She lived a life that was all about her blessed Jesus and what He
can do for us. She had made plans that when she died, her soul would live
forever with Jesus. As a 15 year old, she gave her life to Jesus. When she
died,she was in her 90's. she was an example of God's power in a person's life
as they yield their all to Jesus. She was a prayer warior. She would intercede in prayer
for others and their needs.
Has we continue in
Jeremiahs story, He went to prayer and asked God to remember his life walk with
God. God looking down, hearing his prayer was pleased. He gave him 15
years more to serve him in this life.
As we stand before God
someday, can we joyfully tell the Lord,"Go ahead and look at my life" ,knowing
we have been a faithful steward of the Lord.
