Death defeated

PSALM 39:5 (NLT)
You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.”

2 TIMOTHY 1.10 (CEB)
Now his grace is revealed through the appearance of our savior, Christ Jesus. He destroyed death and brought life and immortality into clear focus through the good news.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God has extended our lives eternally through Christ Jesus.

PRAYER
God, today I celebrate the victory of Christ which has defeated death and brought to us full and unending lives. Forgive me for living like everything is all about what I can accomplish in the here and now. Free me from my short-sightedness and release me to share this good news with everyone I meet. Amen.
