Death is not finial

11/27/11                                                                             Psalm 6

Scripture: Psalm 6:4-6 Turn, O Lord, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love. No one remembers you when he is dead. who praises you from the grave. I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.  


Observation: We are at times worn out from prayer, especially when we have prayed for something for so long. That we inadvently flood the bed with the crying that has happened, but we also need to keep praying for deliverance from God's unfailing love. We need saved because we praise him while we are alive, but when we have died no one remembers God when a person has died because they are so struck by their grife.


Application: I think that what we must do is to keep praying although we may ask for the same things over and over again, sometimes it is just eaiser if we mix it up a little. or even just a simple prayer that involves everyone. But in the end we need to praise God, because death is not really finial. Sure you have taken your last living breath. But if you are righteous with God and praise him on earth and prayer for others who have not meet him yet, then Death is not finial. Death is only the start of the continuation of life. (sure there are going to be bad things that you are not going to be able to do anymore, but that is NOT my point) Now I am going to be honest, several years ago I thought of Death as the finial answer and then your buried and that is it, you remain in the grave, there was no heaven or hell, Or I suppose there was but Heaven was for those that laid down on the line for God, (priests, popes, some presidents (namely JFK and FDR), and those that served there country with honor and distinction) and Hell was for well very bad people (Hussein comes to mind) you get the idea. I don't know why I believed that Maybe watching too much of The Ghosts of Mississippi. But some how over the course of the last couple of years I think that my thought process begin to change, To where there is a heaven and a hell, but I am unsure of how the process is. I know, I know your thinking to yourself. Its easy Melissa, Celebrate, Connect and Contribute (which you do all three) Yes, I know I do all three. But some days I wonder if all three is enough. To be honest, I am SCARED of what is going to happen to me on the day that I die. I wonder from time to time, if my fate has already been sealed and we are just waiting for time to pass to get at this particular moment of when is my last breath, all because I may have done some stupid things in the past.

Prayer: Oh mighty Father Thank you for being in my life. Please be know that sometimes I do grow tried and weary from prayer, But I asking for forgiveness and strength. I need deliverance and saved because I know that I am a sinner, I will always be one. I know I must be humble and please allow me to be so but also allow me to have a successful future one filled with hope and prosperity, for I only live for you, God. I pray for those who don't know you and I praise you when I have renewed hope in you. Amen.
