When Godly People Die
I had a good friend in elementary school and high school. She lived up the street from me. She was in my first grade reading group, and I had a crush on her then. I even went a gave her a plastic ring at one point. We remained friends, but she was never my girlfriend later on. She was a Christian and a sweet young lady. I was totally surprised to hear that she died suddenly from acute leukemia at Christmas after we graduated. I wondered why that happened to such a sweet, godly girl. The Lord explained this to Isaiah so he could give us good insight into this dilemma. I believe it will help all of us to meditate on what the Bible says. (Isaiah 57:1,2) "Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die." See what I mean? This gives us a lot to think about today. Yes, good godly people...
