Hebrews 11:22 By faith Joseph, when his ended was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions about his bones.
The certainty is that one day we will be laid to rest, are you prepared? Do you know where you are going to spend eternity?
Eternity, infinite time, the timeless state after death, surely worth serious consideration!!
Revelation 1:17-19 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid." I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
Have you surrendered, your keys to Jesus? Just something to ponder, in your spare time! Today Rick and I joined family and friends at the celebration of life for Marty Allen, as I sat in the memorial hall at the Veterans Cemetery, I processed decades of memories in a flash.
Wall to wall people filled the room, each having been touch by Marty, in some way during his short 65 years on this earth. Today we were laying to rest one of my peers, "my generation," that`s an eye-opener; the reality of the death and departure from this earthly life, now invades "my generation."
Psalm 89:47-48 Remember how fleeting is my life. For what futility you have created all men! What man can live and not see death or save himself from the power of the grave.
Thank you God, I now live in confidence and assurance that I will stand before You in Heaven!
Ecclesiastes 7:13-18 Consider what God has done: who can straighten what he has made crooked? When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future. In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these; a righteous man perishing in his righteousness, and a wicked man living long in his wickedness. Do not be over righteous, neither be over wise--why destroy yourself? Do not be over wicked, and do not be a fool--why die before your time? It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. The man who fears God will avoid all extremes.
I pray for the family and friends who are mourning the passing of my peer, Marty!
Amen.......
