Are You Afraid To Die?

Scripture

Revelation 12

11b “...And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.”

Observation

Are you afraid to die? Is there something that you are willing to die for? Would you be willing to serve the Lord in a dangerous place even though it meant that you might die? Would you be willing to go?

You and I need to be ready and willing to die. Are you? Am I?

I saw on the news just a few minutes ago where a gunmen walked into an I Hop restaurant and opened fire on a group of people and in a matter of moments many people died. I saw where fires in Texas have destroyed over 1,000 homes and have caused many deaths. Are you ready to die? It might sound morbid, but you need to think about it and make a decision about life and death. Are you afraid to die?
I am not afraid to die but when I die I want to die serving the Lord with all my heart and all my soul. I don't want to die doing something stupid. I want my death to put a smile on God's face. How about you?

Application

I want to live today like it was my last day on this earth. There are more things that I want to accomplish for the Lord and I want to be busy doing them when He calls me home.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, death seems like a terrible thing but going through it is the only way to get to Heaven. Now if You want to just take me up to Heaven without experiencing death that would be OK with me, but I know that You are not going to do that. Death is the door that we must all go through. Help me to live in a way that brings You a smile and help me to live every day of my life in a way that pleases You. You have blessed me with a wonderful life. Thank You for saving me. Thank You for giving me eternal life and though one day I will die – I also know that I will never die.
