Todays daily devotional by Dr David Jeremiah of Turning Point Ministry (sorry its so late - better late than never): Wednesday, October 23 Now Departing The time of my departure is at hand. ~~ 2 Timothy 4:6 Recommended Reading: Philippians 1:19-26 A woman in Gothenburg, Sweden, was shocked when she opened her local newspaper and read her own obituary. The column began, Our dear daughter, sister and friend has left us today in sorrow. There followed details of her life and passing. The woman was understandably upset and knew she had to call her mother to warn her of the mistake, but she was crying too hard to make the call. Officials have yet to determine who played the cruel joke. One day well all be reading our own obituaries in the newspaper. At least, others will be reading them. Death is a 100 percent certainty for mankind. But the Bible uses the word depart instead of dying for Christians going to heaven. Paul had a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better (Philippians 1:23). We try hard to avoid thinking about death, but going to heaven is our greatest hope. If we meditated more on this, perhaps wed inspire others to look to God for the eternal answers only He can provide. He whose head is in heaven need not fear to put his feet into the grave. ~~ Matthew Henry
