Sovereignty and Death
Quick Update: Life and running about and resting well back here at home is just as, if not more, robustly busy and fruitfully productive as it was in Japan, except a lot less “organized”. Soli Deo Gloria.
[Poetry That I Squeeze From My Bible Saturated Being In Order To Preach To Myself Refreshingly]
I know not what the future holds,
But in Christ,
His grace suffice,
And sovereignty unfolds.
So I strive to be a man with a plan,
a godly man.
Acknowledging my limited span
And trusting in God’s infinite hand.
For I know not what the future holds,
But in Christ,
His grace suffice,
and sovereignty unfolds.
[What Death Reminds Us In Donut Tree]
1. Death reminds that life has a God ordained purpose.2. Death reminds us that this world is broken by sin and needs Christ.3. Death reminds to be more missional with souls and love them with Christ’s love because they have eternal destinations.4. Death reminds us that for those who die and are saved by the blood of Christ, we can celebrate in a time of sorrow.5. Death reminds us to not waste our lives. Only one life twill soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last.6. Death reminds us of the Gospel because Jesus Christ died a whorreble death He did not deserve so that we could live a soul satisfying eternal life we do not deserve.7. Death reminds us, the children of God, that there is coming a day where we will receive an immeasurable GAIN and see the glorious face of our Lord Saviour Jesus Christ face to face.
