My Life
Constantly Hangs
In The Balance,
… but I will not stop obeying your instructions.
Scripture
109 My life constantly hangs in the balance,
but I will not stop obeying your instructions.
Observation
Hardly
a moment goes by that I don’t realize that I am on borrowed time. Since my
heart attack three years ago my body constantly reminds me that my life hangs
in the balance.
And
that is not a bad thing either!
You
see we are both on borrowed time. Seeing the end of 2015 is no guarantee for
any of us. We might not make it to the end of 2014 come to think of it.
The
idea of dying doesn’t bother me. Does it bother you? Are you scared of dying?
By
God’s grace and mercy I have personally experienced death and God’s people
praying me back to life. I know that I am not afraid to die.
What
does bother me is how I live each day! I am not proud of myself at how I am
doing.
When
it comes to handling pain and feeling tired and worn out on a daily basis I am
a big wimp.
So
if you and I are tempted to feel sorry for ourselves on the day after Christmas
lets take a minute and think about other folks we know and lets pray for them.
Some of them are dealing with far more serious things than we are! Kathy always
reminds me (so glad that she does) that there are lots of people suffering a
lot more than I am.
You
and I are blessed. We are very blessed.
I
am going to live forever in a brand new body that is never going to wear out!
God
has allowed me to stay here on planet earth a little bit longer to do His will.
Application
Prayer
Heavenly
Father,
your word is my source of hope.
Lord, sustain me as you promised, that I may live!
Do not let my hope be crushed.
Sustain me, and I will be rescued;
then I will meditate continually on your decrees. Psalm 119:114,116-117
