Thought For Today: “Death with No Regret”

It’s a great thing to die full. This is the assessment of the Bible’s account of Abraham’s death. Genesis 25:8 says Abraham died at a good old age, full of years.

Now, the words “of years” are not in the Hebrew manuscript; therefore, while Abraham died of old age, he also died full.

Abraham was a friend of God (James 2:23) and lived by faith (Hebrews 11:8-10). His faith was “accounted to him for righteousness” (Romans 4:22). Because of this, Abraham was full when he died.

What humanity counts as gain is what they are emptied of at death, namely wealth, possessions, and prestige. But those who live by faith in Jesus Christ carry their fullness with them.

To Martha, who was grieving her brother Lazarus’s death, Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26)

This Sunday Morning we’ll be looking at “Obtaining a Living Hope” in our Unprecedented Hope series.

@amjadt25 The equation has not changed. Without refined fuels and lithium imports the IRGC have no means to terrorize their neighbors including the peoples of the UAE, Israel, or Lebanon. Blockade and render inoperable the IRGC refinement and fuel storage and the terrorizing ceases…

@pastordwl Thank you for the wisdom and kindness you provide.

@pastordwl This reminds me why I celebrate the Lord’s victories regardless of circumstances:

“I say unto you that likewise there shall be more joy in heaven over one sinner that repents than over ninety-nine just persons, who need no repentance.”

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Expect these trends to continue as limits of numbers of available tanker trucks dwindle. All the refining in Russia does no good if SOE cant move the energy products to markets...

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA If NATO's rapid response army group is not operating out of Poland then what roles or good do they afford NATO members at all for the expense...

America would never tolerate Cuba firing drones and missiles at Washington. Trump wouldn't accept any calls for a ceasefire then. Why should Israel be expected to live under the threat of Hezbollah terrorism?And why should the Middle East be expected to coexist with the terrorism and aggression of the Islamic regime in Iran? Why should the Iranian people be forced to live under a regime that has killed their children, oppressed their women, and crushed their freedoms?
No nation is required to accept permanent insecurity. Peace requires accountability, not appeasement.
