Psalms 49 - Dead man walking

"No man can ransom even a brother, or pay to God his own ransom.

But God will redeem my life, will take me from the hand of Sheol." Psalms‬ ‭49:8, 16‬

Psalms 49 - Dead man walking.  Death, have you thought about your own death?  What will it be like?  Does death scare you?  It is a reality that each of us will face sooner or later.  Building ones own riches does not make it go away.  There was a man who willing crawled onto a cross and died for our sins, the sins of self, the sin of pride, the sin of power.  He took all of this upon himself for you and defeated death.  It is Him who you owe your life too, you can trust the riches of this world and surely die or you can trust Jesus for paying the full price.  Who are you going to serve?  Death will still knock at your door, do not be a dead man walking but live in the spirit of Christ, death has no power over Him nor does money, wealth, pride, ego or sin.  

What is God saying to me: Pray

Dear Father, I see Your unconditional love that You look with, we are all the same in Your eyes.  Death can have its grip in our lives if we allow it, it pulls at us in various ways and works at hardening our hearts.  You are breaking that grip and sharing Your unconditional love with us in personal ways.  Show me the ways that I deny You in my life and break that bondage that holds me back from loving You more.  Prayers for several who are trapped in this world and are blind to the schemes of the devil, free them from this trap.  Help me see with Your eyes, bless my conversations and be ever on my tongue.  I ask this in Jesus's name, Amen.  

Mary, Our Lady of All Nations, pray for us.
St Joesph, pray for us.
