Matthew 26:24<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n It doesn\u2019t matter the reason for my death; all that matters is ensuring that I die according to God\u2019s will for my life. It\u2019s not my duty or my role to decide where, how or when I pass away from this dispensation. God has all that figured out, and it\u2019s written down concerning me. I am satisfied that God knows and I should rest my case in this knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I cannot and will not die before the time allotted to me. I have my destiny engraved in the books of heaven. My days and my years are in His hands. So why fret and worry about what I cannot change. When the days of pain come, God will surely give me the grace to face it. Worrying about it does not remove it from the written scroll. It has been written about me. I will fulfill my destiny, both the days of pleasure, the days of pain and the day of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFather, grant me Your peace as I walk through the narrow paths of this earth. You know all that will happen to me. Grant me Lord, the faith to believe that You are ordering my steps according to Your prophetic destiny for my life. And in this, I have my security and rest. Amen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Matthew 26:24 \u201cThe Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed!
