Topic: Go When You’re Ready
With long life will I satisfy [you] and show [you] my salvation. – Psalm 91:16
Did you know that it’s not God’s will for you or anyone to die young? His will for you is to live the total number of your days. You ought to live 70 or 80 years; if unsatisfied, live longer! The Bible says that when Abraham died, he died at a good old age, full of years. That’s the way it ought to be with all of us.
Some believers don’t realize that and get into a mess. When they get sick, instead of just believing in healing, they start wondering if it’s God’s will for them to die. Maybe He’s ready to call me home, they think.
Don’t ever entertain thoughts like that. If God has His way, He won’t call you home until you’re good and ready to come. The Apostle Paul understood that. In 2 Timothy 4:6-7, he said, “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought well, finished my course, and kept the faith.” Paul only died once he and Jesus were ready for him to go.
Regardless of your age, if the devil is telling you God isn’t going to heal you because it’s time for you to go home, he is lying to you. God promises in Psalm 91:16 that if you live under the shadow of the Most High, He will satisfy you with a a long life. (That means you are abiding in Him as Jesus taught in John 15.)
If you’re not satisfied that you have finished your course yet on this earth, it’s not time for you to die. So ignore the devil and keep right on living. Resist sickness and disease in the Name of Jesus. Stand on God’s promise!
Then, when you’re ready to go on to heaven, go! But go satisfied, healed, and ready! Go in victory shouting the words of that old joy-filled song—” Heaven is near, and I can’t stay here. Goodbye, world, goodbye.”
Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 34

Ambydennis Notice Board: We trust you have been blessed by the devotional. Accepting Jesus as your Lord and personal Savior is one of the best decisions, especially for you; imagine having Christ in your life; what a fantastic experience it will be. It starts here as you proclaim: Dear Father, I humbly come to you in sincere repentance, claiming you as my Lord and personal Saviour. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness, be the center of my life, and let my life revolve around you as I partake in the eternal life you gave us in Jesus’ Name. Congratulations, you are now Born again. God bless you.
