Psalm 49:5-15

RANSOMED FROM THE POWER OF DEATH

But God will redeem my life from the grave; He will surely take me to Himself. Psalm 49: 15, NIV

This Psalm underscores the inevitability of death for every human being. Our greatest challenge as humans is that "no man can redeem the life of another or give God a ransom for him - the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough .... (vv. 7-9)." Knowing this, God expects us to live and labour with eternity in view.

Beloved, it is foolishness to live your life for the things of this world because you will surely leave them behind. It will be wise of you to locate your life in God. He alone has the power to redeem souls; this He has done through Christ Jesus. The Psalmist had a relationship with God and so he could boast about life in eternity. Do you have any relationship with God? This is a good time to check on your investment and see where you have invested the most. Where is the thrust of your life, eternity or this perishable earth? Death can take anyone at any time. Strive now not to lose your soul at the end.
