Psalm 56:13  ¹³ For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling, so that I may walk before God in the light of life.

Do we die? Yes, our bodies slowly cease to function, our minds may falter, and all of us will eventually breathe our last breath on earth. Do we die? No, we have been given the promise of eternal life, our spirits have been given the breath of life from the Holy Spirit, and, while our bodies fail, our spirits continue to thrive into eternity.

As we walk in the light of God’s love, we are carried through this temporary life into God’s eternal one. We are given hope that this is not the end of it all. We are given the promise that we will not fall, death will not win the battle.

We must embrace the hope of the resurrection. Our souls are secure and we will walk forever with our Lord.

Lord, give us the hope of the resurrection so that we may walk in your light forever. Amen.
