Sept 28 - Death – Psalm 116:15
The subject of
today’s devotion can be either sad or happy.
When someone thinks about death it brings many emotions to mind. For some it brings fear and dread. To others it reminds them of their mortality
and the uncertainty of life. To the
child of God it is just a passing from one reality to another. The Christian looks forward to death with
anticipation for they know it is a promotion.
The psalmist says precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His
saints. The Lord is the author of death of life. Birth is the beginning of life and death is
the end. Man has a beginning but no
end.
The Lord anticipates
and looks forward to eternal relationship with His people. Jesus conquered death, hell and the
grave. That is why Paul stated in 1 Cor
15, that death has lost it sting and victory.
When a Christian passes into eternity it is not a defeat but
victory. We will ever be with the
Lord. Paul stated that to live is Christ
but to die is gain. Nothing is this life
is as wonderful as what waits for the child of God in eternity. The Lord has more than once allowed me to see
into eternity what awaits for all of us to know the Lord is beyond
description. So neve fear death but look
forward to the greatest promotion yet.
