In God`s plan every life is long enough and every death is timely. And though you and I might wish for a longer life. God knows better. And… this is important…. though you and i may wish a longer life for our loved ones, they don`t. Ironically, the first to accept God`s decision of death is the one who dies. While we are shaking heads in disbelief, they are lifting hands in worship. While we are mourning at a grave, they are marveling in heaven. While we are questioning God, they are praising God.

People have the misconception that to live life to  its fullest for them is to go merry, drink, satisfy themselves, enjoy and tomorrow you will die. Where is the essence of life here? Does it really make sense ? Where`s the purpose of our creation? Is that how shallow and meaningless life is.

For me, the passing away of my papang who was just 52, my sister who was just 38 and just recently my husband of just 3 years really woke me up and reminded me that life is really too short. It`s just like  a blink or a twinkle of an eye to realize a love one is gone. Life is really fragile.

I have an article to share its a daily devotion by pastor  Greg Laurie. SO TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS, THAT WE MAY GAIN A HEART OF WISDOM.(Psalm 90:12). It is hard to explain when someone`s life has been cut short, when someone is relatively young dies.. We expected them to live a much longer life. But who is to say that it was not the appointed time for them to go?Who is to say that it was not the exact length of life that God has preordained for them from the very beginning?

That is why we want to make everyday count. The bible says"Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of of wisdom"(Psalm90:12). Or to paraphrase. "Lord, help us to realize our lives can end on any day, so let`s use them wisely. We dont know when our day will come.

When God calls home, you are going home. You can live on vitamin C, zinc, and Echinacea. You can drink green tea, and avoid all the toxins you can, but when your number is up, your number is up.

On the other hand, you will be around until God is done with you. You are not going to go before your time. You may or may not be the healthiest person, but you will live to the time that God has appointed for you.

Worring isn`t going to extend our lives. At the sasme time, we are not to take foolish risks and tempt the Lord.

We can be assured that we are here until God is done with us, As the apostle Paul said, "For to me , to live is Christ, and to die is gain"(Philippians 1:20). So let`s make the most of the lives God has given. Lets live life to the fullest.
