God’s Word for Today - 23 Oct 2024
2 Samuel 12:23 KJV — But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 23 Oct 2024
It is quite unfortunate that some people refuse to be consoled and comforted after the loss of a dearly loved one for whom they fervently interceded, par adventure God would spare them but didn’t. Even some who are Christ followers and should know better are often caught up in this, though the Bible teaches us not to grieve like those who do not have Christ but to see the loss as a necessary transition to a much preferred place in the bossom of the Lord. I implore you therefore to understand that death, for a disciple of Christ, is not the end of the story but the start of a new life in heaven with Jehovah your loving Father and God. And thankfully there is no return ticket to this damaged world.
Pray: Holy Lord, thank You for conquering death and giving me victory to spend eternity with You in heaven. #Mok
