A person's life and the breadth of time he or she is allotted seems to be a mystery- held only for Almighty God to know. Does He determine it or because He is Omniscient know it? This blog will not unearth the theological positions for such a vast matter.
What we do know is that people are born into this world every day and people depart this planet each day. The manner in which we make our exit is important. Loss is huge, measured by different people by different degrees. Everyday lives are snuffed out due to drug and alcohol overdoses. It seems senseless. This past week we were personally touched by the loss of one such person. May God rest his soul and give others peace and comfort during this time of mourning.
Death is something none of us can escape. So I guess I'm not talking about death as I am life- the fullness of life. Live your life today as it was your last- in that it is full, meaningful, devoted to others. The Bible is clear when it says, "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement" (Heb. 9:27). Make preparations today to meet Him- for tomorrow never comes! He's waiting with arms wide open.
