MY LIFE IS IN HIS HAND!
In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. —Job 12:10
A person’s days are determined; you have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed. —Job 14:5
And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man. —I Corinthians 15:49
Show me, Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure. —Psalm 39:4-5
My life is in His hands and so is my very breath. He has determined the number of days and months that I will live. Those days and months that finalize my life are approaching and won’t be exceeded. Surely, “Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment… (Hebrews 9:27). Yes, there is an appointment with death that all people will be on time for. Nobody will be late.
But then, for the followers/disciples of Jesus, “just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.” Yes, “Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is” (I John 3:2). What a day that will be. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
For now, “Show me, Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure.” And so, with the days, months I have left, may I be “making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:16). May this be so, Dear Father, by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus and all for Your honor and glory and for the benefit of many people! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBYCsNCnNk4&list=RDzBYCsNCnNk4&start_radio=1
