The LORD!
He brings death, gives life,
takes down to the grave, and raises up!
ROMANS 14:8 (CEB)
If we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to God.
THE ESSENCE
Since God is sovereign over both life and death (and everything between) it behoaves us to act accordingly, regardless of where we are in life.
DAILY FODDER
If you knew that your days left on earth were few, would that change how you live?
PRAYER
God over of all, thank you for caring for me, even when I fail to care for myself. Show me how to live daily according to your divine oversight. I know things will happen which I can't forsee but I'm still trusting that you're in charge of the moment and the big picture. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
