Death Is Final

I think of when we lay away a loved one that we have known for some time, we see that when death comes, that it is final. There is no going back and changing or altering anything. The Bible says, "...where the tree falleth, there it shall be." (Ecc. 11:3) It is a very sobering thought, if we will allow ourselves to think of it.

I think that any of us who have been acquainted with losing a close loved one, perhaps, it is more impressive to know that it is final ... that we cannot go and speak to them again. How many times have we wanted to just sit down and visit one more time, but we can't.

Death is final. God tells us this day after day.

We see that this happens every day, but when it hits close to our heart, it makes a deep impression and it brings to reality what God's Word is really all about.

What He is really trying to tell mankind is that we are not going to live here forever and we are not going to be able to put our trust in ourselves or in the material things of life. But, much more, that we place ourselves in the confidence in the hands of our Lord. This is what He tells us.
