How many times have you stood over the grave of a recently departed friend or loved one? It hurts! When was the last time you tasted grief and separation from someone you dearly loved? Oh, my, that hurts deeply! I don't know about you, but I am so thankful that the Bible identifies death as one of Jesus' enemies. I am grateful that Jesus hates death and the damage and separation it causes. I rejoice! The Lord hates death even more than I do and came to earth and suffered death to destroy the evil one's power over us in death. I am filled with joy to know that death ultimately will be destroyed when Jesus gives immortality and life to us so we can share in his glory forever!
My Prayer...
Holy Father, please triumph with life and mercy in the lives of those I know who are wrestling with emotional, spiritual, and physical illness and death. Triumph in their lives through your power and your grace. I look forward to the day, dear Father, when death is no more. Lord Jesus, I not only pray this in your name, but I ask you to speed this day of victory for all your disciples! Amen.
