** Dear Esteemed Steemians,**
Welcome to my blog. **
** I hope you are enjoying your Steemit activities. **
** Happy New Month.
** Today, I will be writing on a topic that is very important but often neglected:**
The Young Shall Grow Old & Die
Often times, we are only reminded about death when someone close to us dies and is buried. Nobody wants to grow old, much less die, almost everybody wants to be forever young; but the sad truth is that we all must die someday, as long as this earth remains.
We cannot separate Life and ** Death from God. He created us and we will all go back to Him someday. Therefore, I would like to draw my illustration from the Bible.**
Solomon, the wisest king that has ever lived, has this to say in Ecclesiastes 3 : 1&2 (KJV):
- To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
- A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
Did you see this? - There is a time to be born and a time to die!
*Now let's take King David in the Bible as a case study.
In 1 Samuel 16 : 18 he was described as a * Mighty Valiant Man: **
... Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person and the Lord is with him.
Before the age of 17, David had killed a deer and a lion with his bare hands. At age 17 he killed Goliath the Giant.
Such Strength and Bravery!
However, in 1kings 1 : 1 it is recorded thus:
Now King David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.
His death is recorded in 1kings 2 : 10.
What an Irony!
Who would have thought that the young, brave and vibrant King David would eventually grow old and die?!
Well, we could say that David lived a fulfilled life because of his many accomplishments. However, for some, this is not the case, they end up accomplishing little or nothing on earth before they die.
There are so many unfulfilled dreams and unutilized talents in the grave!
The richest place here on earth is the cemetery because there lies untapped resources and stars.
