About Fearing Death
About Fearing Death . . .
We were made to live with God, but on earth we live by faith. We were made to live forever, but on this earth we live but for a moment . . .
We just trust God. We must trust not only that He does what is best, but that He knows what is ahead. Ponder the words of Isaiah 57:1-2:
"The good men perish; the godly die before their time and no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to realize that God is taking them away from the evil days ahead. For the godly who die shall rest in peace."
What a thought! God is taking them away from the evil days ahead. Could death be God's grace? Could the funeral wreath be God's safety ring?
As horrible as the grave may be, could it be God's protection from the future?
Trust in God, Jesus urged those who listened to Him--and He still urges us now, to trust in Him.
May God be with you in a very real and personal way as you are facing struggles about death.
