Life can sometimes creep in on a person. Somethings life can come in like a flood. No matter where you find yourself in life there has been someone else that has walked this path before you walked it. Sometimes we feel alone and isolated then the devil comes and tries to whisper lies into our ears. Why would he do this? He hates you and I. Most of all he hates our God and His Son Jesus.
Suicide is unfortunately too common. It has; unfortunately, touched my extended family. God has used it powerfully in their lives. These precious saints of God are flourishing with the Lord’s help for sure.
I have heard similar statements as our title today coming from more than one Christian. It is usually been spoken from their bed of sickness. There usually has been some diagnosis that seems to the person to be incurable. The problem is that this discounts the healing power of God. He is a God of healing.
I have heard some solid Christians make this statement too. They make this statement in the context of I Corinthians 15:31, “I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.” Mature Christians know the truth and importance of the last three words of this verse, “I die daily”.
As we are exposed to sin and temptation we must realize that we are dead to sin. We must not resurrect the flesh and yield to sin. I know this is easy to sit and type it into a blog such as this; but, it is the truth. If the Apostle Paul said that he needed to die daily, then what makes you think that you do not need to also?
So, how are you doing?
