When someone dies, people often exclaim 'Oh! What a Shame!'
But in the grand scope of life and what follows into eternity what could that mean?
As today’s passage from Psalm 31 poignantly states there is a clear distinction between living and leaving a life in SHAME as opposed to living a life and NOT BE ASHAMED.
Shame is the point when someone realizes when it is too late that they have committed acts of disgrace and dishonorable conduct that destroys their stature before others. It is standing in a place - SILENT - where nothing can be said to undo their actions — invariably leading to a Consequence.
At the end of life we will all face a great cloud of witnesses of how we have lived our life and will stand either ASHAMED or NOT ASHAMED based on two very simple things:
Friend, one of two things will be written by God on your headstone,
and it is based on what you BELIEVE or NOT BELIEVE.
HOW it will read is entirely up to YOU.
God Bless Your Day
