At Which Age Will I Die?


Psalm 139: 16 NIV
“Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”

This subject is something that always fascinates me, I would like to know when I die, how it will happen and how old will I be. I cannot foretell the future so that will never happen I need to wait my turn just like everybody else. I also realized that God is infinitely in control over my life and thank goodness His been patient with me.

I thought about this and it struck me that I came into this world naked and I know that I am going to die and leave this world naked Job 1: 21.  It also struck me that God is in control over life and death 1 Samuel 2: 6.

I do not know at which age I will depart from this world but I do know without a doubt that God is in control and that He has ordained when I will leave this earth. I may live to be 84 years old or even older.

Prayer

Lord, You are awesome, You know my heart's desire and all the questions in my heart around death. Lord thank You for the grace You have bestowed upon me and my family to wake up and enjoy yet another day. I am so grateful and happy that I have this opportunity. Lord please takes care of each person reading this blog of mine in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
