Grace for your spirit September 11, 2008

Remember Him before the silver cord is broken and the golden bowl is crushed, the pitcher by the well is shattered and the wheel at the cistern is crushed; then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:6-7

Solomon wrote a poetic picture of death. Death is something that we dread, but some who are searching for that better life, look forward to it with anticipation. The Bible promises us eternal life with a new body. Fanny Crosby lived from 6 weeks old to age 95 without seeing. While being blind, she wrote hundreds of songs. In one she wrote of the silver cord breaking and being able to see Him face to face. Her blindness helped her see eternal things more clearly, and inspired her poetry. Maybe we see too much and it clouds our view of eternity with Jesus. Let’s look again.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
