Dust In The Wind

  • These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season. You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good. You hide your face; they are troubled. You take away their breath; they die and return to the dust. Psalms 104:27 WEB

    If you are reading this, then you are still breathing and God has not called His gift back to Him yet. To each of us there is a day appointed when we will give back to God the breath that He breathed into Adam so long ago, the very breath of life (Genesis 2:7). It was passed down to each of us, and when it is gone, we will return to the dust.

    I have stood by the bedside of dear loved ones as they took their last breath, and watched the people that I hoped would live forever, die. If you take a walk through a graveyard, it is sobering to see the dates on the tombstones. In a cemetery near my house, years ago a family buried their five children whom they lost to malaria. As soon as they would bury one, they would go home to find that another had passed.

    Live today ready to die so that you will have no regrets. You may question whether God loves you, but every breath that you take is another gift from God. It is another chance to make things right. When a murderer takes another breath, it is God's mercy. Will he repent before it is too late, or continue on the path of destruction? There is still time to right the wrongs and live the life that God created you for. 'While I breath, there is hope' is my home state of South Carolina's motto. Our lives are just a brief flash, lived in the shadow of eternity.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for giving me another day here. Help me to see the world through Your eyes and to live out the plans that You have for me to their fullest. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

    Note: Good morning! The highlighted group of the week is "Ladies in Distress", a private women's fellowship group (All women are welcome to join, but only members will see the post). We are here for fun, emotional support, household tips, an ear to listen and a friend to pray with you, when life gets to be overwhelming. Even the best of us may sometimes have a 'lady in distress' day, so please feel free to join us! To find this and any of our groups, so go to the Groups link on the site menu to see the list! ALSO, if you are in need of prayer, we invite you to send your request to our private prayer network, where we and the team will lift you up! Just go to the Prayer link on the site menu to send in your request!

Let us not take His Blessings for granted but count them one by one. Give Him praise everyday for His Goodness. Life is so precious. I don't want to waste my days focusing on the wrong things in life.

Yes every day we wake up and see another day is definitely a gift from God. We all do take for granted.  Thank pastor Todd for this devotional message. Well said.
