Ecclesiastes 7:2 “It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.”

The reason that God’s word says it is better to be at a funeral then a party…is it’s a reminder of how fragile life is.

James 4:14 says, “What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.”

I just came back from doing a funeral this morning for a man that went into the hospital for a simple operation – but complications set in that led to his death. This guy was not planning to die when he did.

But since life is like a vapor that appears for a little while and then passes away….it was his time to go.

Our lives are very fragile and we never know when it will be our time.

That is why it is so important for us to understand what life is all about.

What do I believe about life?

What are the important things in life?

What really matters when life comes to an end?

What do I believe about death – life after death?

What place has God in my life?

Do I believe that Jesus died on the cross FOR ME so that I may not fear death?

The Bible lays it out in a very simple way – love God and love others.

Dr. James Dobson said one time, “There are only three things that matter in life, The people you Love…

The people that Love you… And where you’re going when you die.”
I encourage you today…

Make sure Jesus is in the right place in your heart.
Keep short accounts with others.

Love God and Love others.

 Be Blessed,

Stan
