Is. 38 [The Message]

No one sits around and wonders how and when they will meet God. Isaiah told king Hezekiah to get ready to die. He couldn’t handle it. He wept and prayed … and God extended his life another15 years. It’s negligible that they were worth it. He produced an evil son, Manasseh, who was a big blemish on his legacy. Maybe he should have said, “Ok God. Take me. I’m ready. You know best.”

The scripture says it’s appointed unto man once to die [Heb. 9:27] … hence, an appointment with death. Every day is a gift. We should cling to the God that gave the gift and make the days profitable for Him, worrying less about the “when.”

The days of our years are threescore years and ten (70); and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years (80), yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. [Ps. 90:10]
