Daily Devotion for October 27

This Sunday is All Saint’s Sunday. We will be honoring our loved ones who passed away.

SCRIPTURE: Ecclesiastes 3: 1 & 2

There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die.

QUESTION: True or False: is there a time to be born and a time to die.

If so, then why is it so difficult when it is time to die?

Why does it hurt so much?

OBSERVATION: Death, in some ways, is out of human hands.

We have no choice. We shall all die. Whether we want to or not.

CHOICE: The only choice we have is what we intend to do with the time between birth and death.

SIGNIFICANT CHOICES: honor time and it’s briefness. They focus on relationships (God and others). They do not focus on acquiring. Because significant choices focus on relationships, when the time of death occurs, death becomes more difficult. It brings with it sorrow because the loss of the other hurts because of how deepness of the relationship.

QUESTION TO PONDER

Does this mean to count it (death) all joy (James 1:2) because the sorrow of death indicates that we led significant lives?

PLEASE KEEP IN YOUR PRAYERS
