Waiting to Die

When are you going to die?  Would you like to live to be a certain age?  If you could choose how to die, how would you like to go?

Don’t worry, I’m not in a morbid mood and I’m not depressed either.  I have been contemplating mortality the older I get.  When I was a kid I thought I’d live forever.  The only person I knew that had died was my Grandma, and as a child of four I understood that she had moved to Heaven.  In fact, we joked that the thunder was Grandma bowling.  Through my life I’ve experienced the passing of favorite teachers, high school pals, more grandparents, and even a very dear friend.  It’s a natural part of life to consider the shortness of it.  But what would a healthy perspective be on the subject?

I spent some time recently with a 72 year old friend.  She has been vibrant and healthy until this year.  Now she finds herself in a nursing home learning to walk again, praying for one more chance to get out there and live before she dies.

My mom is in her sixties and winning her second battle with cancer.  My friend Jeremy was giving a death sentence called Lymphoma at age 33, but was miraculously healed.  One of my best friends was injured severely in a freak accident and died suddenly.

It occurs to me that we have no promise of how long we’re going to live.  I don’t even think that is the important question.  Not “how long will you live”, but “how will you live?”

If you had a serious diagnosis from the doctor, would you accept defeat, sit down and wait to die?

You see, God doesn’t promise us a long life.  In fact, if you ask a healthy person in their eighties if they’ve lived long enough, you’ll probably hear about how short it has really been.  The point is that we’re not called to live a long life, but a life worth living.  Every day is a gift, an opportunity to bring Glory to God, to walk in His love, and to be grateful for what we have.  Each day you have something to do that needs to be done, whether you like it or not.  I have a family to care for, children to raise, a wife to love, a job to do, friends to encourage, prayers to pray, God to worship, and life to live.  I’m convinced that whatever things may challenge my earthly mortality, I’m not leaving this life one moment before God has planned for my departure.  I love the words of a song by Country stars Big & Rich that say “I’ll live this life, ‘til this life won’t let me live here anymore.”

It’s natural to consider how short our life may be, but it is not acceptable to sit around and wait for the end to come.  Psalm139 says that God knew all of our days and wrote them in His book before we lived the first one.  So, I choose to live each given day intentionally.  I will wake each morning with gratitude, I will meet each challenge with courage, I will cripple each fearful moment with faith, and I will live a life worth living until I stop breathing.  That’s when I will just begin to live.
