“The Spirit of God has made me, and the
breath of the Almighty gives me life.” (v.4)
God fashioned our days even before we existed (Psalm 139:16),
and we exist now only because “the breath of the Almighty gives us life” (Job
33:4). Though we don’t know how many breaths we have left—we can rest in the
knowledge that He does.
It’s not unusual for any of us to ponder what it will be like
when we face our final moments on earth. But those who “die in the Lord” have
the certainty that they are “blessed” (Rev. 14:13), that there death is
“precious in the sight of the Lord” (Psalm 166:15), and will have everlasting
life in Him (John 3:16)
From our first breath to our last, we are in God’s care, and He
holds our future in His hands.
The Truth: “Your
eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were
written, the days fashioned for me, when as
yet there were none of them.” (Psalm 139:16)
