#430 – Live Or Die

Good morning people with purpose

Our lives can bring honour to our God in all situations. This is amazing. Even when we are in challenging circumstances, even with suffering, even in death our lives can honour God and reveal Him to others by our visible trust in Him.

Luke 23:46-47 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” When He had said this, He breathed His last. The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

The way Jesus handled Himself and His confession even in death pointed people to the Father. He was saying “I trust You Father; I hand it over to You”.

Our lives can bring glory to the Father too; whether in death or life.

Romans 14:8 If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

“Father make my life a testimony to You. Help me to trust You in life and help me to trust You in death. Take my life; it is Yours”.
