"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die;...(3Eccl 3:1-2 KJV) The story is told of a rich man who sent his servant into the market place to buy supplies. While there, the servant saw death and was very frightened. The servant returned to his master as quick as he could. His master inquired of the servant why he was so afraid. The servant replied, I saw death while in the market place and it frightened me. Please give me your fastest steed that I may escape to the next town. Upon the servant's departure, his master went into the market place and found death. He asked death, why did you frighten my servant? Death replied, I did not mean to frighten him, but I do have an appointment with him in the next town! Live everyday as if it is your last. There is no escaping our appointment with death!
PRAYER: Lord, thank you for every golden moment you give us to experience life! Help us to live life to its fullest so that when our appoint with death comes, there will be no attempts to delay or escape it. Amen!
Job 3:20-23 . . . . "Oh, why should light and life be given to those in misery and bitterness, who long for death, and it won't come; who search for death as others search for food or money? What blessed relief when at last they die! TLB
