Lead Kindly Light

"The aging process is also a gift from God, as is death. The eventual death of your mortal body is essential to God’s great plan of happiness.¹² Why? Because death will allow your spirit to return home to Him.¹³ From an eternal perspective, death is only premature for those who are not prepared to meet God.

With your body being such a vital part of God’s eternal plan, it is little wonder that the Apostle Paul described it as a “temple of God.”"

1 Corinthians 6: 9,20

9 What? know ye not that your ^abody is the ^btemple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your^cown?

 20 For ye are ^abought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Psalm 116

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous—Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints.

 1 I ^alove the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

 2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

 3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the ^apains of ^bhell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

 4 Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

 5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is ^amerciful.

 6 The Lord preserveth the ^asimple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

 7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.

 8 For thou hast ^adelivered my ^bsoul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

 9 I will walk before the Lord in the ^aland of the living.

 10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

 11 I said in my ^ahaste, All men are liars.

 12 What shall I ^arender unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?

 13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of theLord.

 14 I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.

 15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the ^adeath of his saints.

 16 O Lord, truly I am thy ^aservant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

 17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will ^acallupon the name of the Lord.

 18 I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people,

 19 In the ^acourts of the Lord’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
