30 Days of Thanks – D21

Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of His godly ones.
Psalms‬ ‭116:15‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

‭‭Why do you suppose God would consider the death of His godly ones as precious?

Does God not rejoice at the salvation of His children, His creation?

He will rescue (redeem) their life (soul) from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight;
Psalms‬ ‭72:14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

‭‭Even though we have received God’s redemption and our eternity from oppression and violence, we still face oppression and violence this side of heaven. But . . . One day when our mortal bodies are no more, we will receive full all God has promised to His own. How precious in the sight of God, is the death of His godly ones.

I’m saddened by those who die without Jesus. What a contrast when compared to the death of a godly saint who believed and trusted God. I am very thankful to God for the ability to rejoice at a believer’s celebration of life because they continue to live. Oh how precious.

Dedicated to Joyce and Noel.
