Death Is Sure

DEATH IS SURE

 

Oh, no, no, no!

That’s not true!

She cannot just go!

Just talking to her a while ago.

 

Every minute, every second

Tick-tock! Tick-tock!

Each tick of the clock

A breath has come to stop

 

Years, months, or maybe weeks,

There are those with only days left

Waiting for a loved one to be home

Just to bade farewell

 

Death is sure

Yes, it is for all

It may not come today

But it will surely come one day

 

Some are warned about it

Sometimes by surprise

No one can refuse

Though it’s hardly resisted

 

So, live life to the fullest

Do what matters most

Enjoy every moment

While you still exist

 

But just do not forget

The One up there is watching

Once your life is over

All to Him you'll answer

 

"Who are you

Do I know you

Why should I let you in here

What have you done there"

 

"Did you receive my messenger

Did you listen to every word he said

Did you believe on him

Did you do what he did"

 

“If not, I’m so sorry

You can’t be with me

This place is restricted

It’s only for those who believe”

 

“Angels, take them away

Bring them to where they should be

To the place of their choice

For they did not accept me”

 

Not yet too late my friend

Have faith and put your trust in Jesus

Accept his love and forgiveness

Let him come into your heart

 

 

 

DAILY IN THE WORD

July 10, 2021

 

Acts 10:34-48

34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. 36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) 37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; 38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. 39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; 41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. 42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. 43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
