As a minister, I have officiated many funerals. Some were celebrations of lives will lived and glorious homecomings of the Lord's saints as they entered their eternal home. Some were heart-wrenching as there seemed no hope after death. Some were sudden endings due to an accident or some type of unexpected bodily shut down; and some came about after years of declining health. Nevertheless, one thing is for sure... We all will experience death. While we cannot be sure of the time and date, we can be prepared. We can be prepared spiritually by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We can also be prepared with making sure that our final expenses are taken care of and our families will not lose their homes. While money does not give us in any terms everything, it does give us options. The verse below is one that is quite blunt, but it makes for good wisdom.
In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.”
The Holy Bible: New International Version (Is 38:1). (1984). Zondervan.
Get your house in order! Check your insurance policies and make sure they are in good order. Talk with a trusted agent that can guide you through the process so that indeed you can have peace of mind now and peace for your family later!
