The Death of His Saints

Today my thoughts have returned again and again to the sudden, completely unexpected death of a woman we knew through church. Driving home from Sewing Circle, with her two young grandchildren in the car, she possibly went into cardiac arrest, causing her to lose control of the car and drive into a barn. Although her grandchildren came through relatively unscathed, she did not.

Now she beholds His face and dwells in glory--a wonderful ending to such a tragedy. But oh, the shock and pain that her family must be feeling.

Her death has been such a sobering reminder for me--and for many others--that our days are numbered, the end is coming, and only God knows when it will be. It could be any day.

Precious in the sight of the Lord

is the death of his saints.

~ Psalm 116:15
