Good Morning!
I have a very hot cup of Door County Pumpkin Spice Coffee in front of me. There is a fire in the hearth and it is all good from where I sit. It is time to write.
Psalm 118:17 NKJV I shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord.
For the psalmist, this is a declaration of trust, deliverance, and perseverance. it is widely used by believers as a personal confession of faith during sickness, trial, or spiritual warfare to reject despair and affirm hope.
In a couple of months I will turn 70 years old. I have already buried most of my ancestors and yet I am still here. Many people my age have already passed on. I believe that only God knows the day He will call me home, but until then I live and I live with purpose. I will be here for my family as long as God allows. I will serve Him in some capacity or another as long as I live. I will declare His good works and praise Him openly.
The point for the day is this. We aren't finished until God calls us home. And until then I will have my coffee in prayer and thank Him for another day to be blessed and to be a blessing as He leads.
God bless.
Marty
