Death Sits in His Jurisdiction

Is the dread of death robbing your joy of life?

At the age of 37, Florence told her friends her life hung by a thread.  So she went to bed.  And she stayed there…for 53 years!  She did die, but at the age of 90!

Except for three years, Florence cowered before the giant of death.  During those few years she made a name for herself, not as one who suffered, but as a friend of those who did.  She was history’s most famous nurse. Yet, Florence Nightingale lived as a slave of depression and death.

What about you?  Jesus came to deliver those who’ve lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.  Death sits in His jurisdiction.

Psalm 139:16 says, “You saw me before I was born.  Every day of my life was recorded in your book.  Every moment laid out before a single day had passed.”

From: Come Thirsty
