"The days of our lives are seventy years." Psalms 90:10 NKJV
Do you ever wonder how long you will live? The Bible says. "The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away" (v. 10 NKJV). Why do some of us live longer than others? Paul answers, "Our knowledge is partial and incomplete' (1 Co 13:9 NLT NLT). But here are three things you can be sure of: (1) You can lengthen your life by obeying God and shorten it by disobeying Him. Fighting illness and facing death, Hezekiah prayed, "Remember, Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully...with wholehearted devotion and...done what is good in your eyes" (2Ki 20:3 NIV). God answered, "I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you ...I will add fifteen years to your life" (2Ki 20:5-6 NIV). So, does God still heal today? Yes, His Word says, "Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil...and the Lord will make you well" (Jas 5:14-15 NLT). (2) When their work on earth is done, the redeemed go to heaven. Paul describes heaven in two words: "far better" (Php 1:23). And the architect, builder, and designer of your heavenly home in Jesus, the One who said , "I do to prepare a place for you" (Jn 14:2). At home with Jesus--try to imagine what that will be like. (3) If you're worried about death, claim God's promise: "With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation" (Ps 91:16 NIV).
