Precious in the Sight of the Lord..."
My oldest brother, my father's first son, the Patriach of my family, the one who was not only my brother, but also became my father after my dad passed away, lost his battle with cancer this morning and went home to be the with the Lord.My consolation in all these, he was a born again Christian, so I am thankful for that and I know I will see him again.
James Dobson in his book "When God doesn't make sense" says that God is sovereign over all. He goes on to say
".....We must never forget that He, after all is God. He is majestic and holy and sovereign. He is accountable to no one. He is not an errand boy who chases the assignments we dole out. He is not a genie who pops out of the bottle to satisfy our whims. He is not our servant - we are His. And our reason for existence is to glorify and Honor Him. Even so, sometimes He chooses to explain His action in our lives." (sometimes he chooses not to) "Sometimes His presence is as real as if we had encountered Him face to face. But at other times when nothing makes sense- when what we are going through is "not fair", when we feel all alone in God's waiting room - He simply says, "Trust Me"
How True!
David tell us in Psalm 116:15 "Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his saints"
Adieu brother John, till we meet again.
