Pastor Bode's daughter shared with us last night that the day would be soon approaching and that her father would be passing on into eternity. Of course we are all grieved by the thought of our soon approaching loss but God is so faithful. This morning during both of my short devotionals I check online God was so good to give me the words from the Bible that are perfectly fitting for what is going on. The one you can check out at www.odb.org talks about the "breath of life." From our first breath to our last, we are in God’s care.
God holds our future in His hands
And gives us every breath;
Just knowing that He’s by our side
Allays our fear of death. —Sper
There was also some amazing scripture on there too I will share those verses here too.
Rev. 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
Ps 116:15
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints.
How precious is God's word is during this trying time! I will also share another link I thought of it more for what my church will be going thru in the months to come and it gave me great comfort. The link is as follows: http://kjvdevos.blogspot.com/2011/04/414-devotions-in-exodus.html here is an excerpt:
Exodus 1 Afflictions
“But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.” (v. 12)
I pray you check out these links and they bless you in some way. God Bless you this Thursday :)
