The Loss of Fear in Death

One of the greatest losses of our modern day era,

is not so much the fear of death,

but the stark terror of what may lay beyond it.

So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom

(Psalm 90:12 ESV)

If life can be compared to a game of CHESS... then just because we find ourselves constantly maneuvering out of "CHECK," doesn't necessitate we are fated to be "CHECKMATED." However, if in the end we have persevered, then more often than not, its because our opponent made a mistake - and not because of some new found genius on our part. This is why we should pray... Hebrews 7:25
