Everyday vs. Fulfillment of Sripture

[S] Mark 14:49 --
49 Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures."

[O] As Jesus spent every day with the people teaching, mingling, and talking with them, the Jews had ample time to take Jesus away but they came to Gethsemane at night with a squad of soldiers to arrest Him in order to fulfill God's words.  It is not what happens everyday that matters, but what God's fulfillment of His words that matters most and I must focus my mind in seeking for God's fulfillment in my life.

[A] What I do daily -- going to work, raising children, handling tough situations, etc. -- will be just that; how I lead my life in order for God's fulfillment to come through is what will matter in the long run.

[P] Dear Father, may Your promises come true through my life because I would be moved by Your Spirit to obey Your words in the Bible.  May I not be too worried about what's going on around me.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.

Peaceful and Beautiful Way to End Life on Earth

[S] Numbers 20:28 --
After Moses had stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on the mountain top. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

[O] This verse captures the beautiful and peaceful transition of a Godly man who gave all he had for His ministry.  At God's prompting, Aaron ended his life as if he had fulfilled his assignment on earth without any regrets because when that moment came he went up to Mount Hor, passed on his role to Eleazar and then died there.  What a scene.

[A] I want to live and end my life here on earth much like this.  I'm sure family members and friends will miss me (I think) and sadness cannot be avoided, but I would like my life to be ended because God calls me home after completing my task here on earth so I can pass on from this life with peace and clear transition that is proactively initiated.  I do hope such a transitional testimony will bring peace and joyfulness to those at my funeral and to those who will remember me in their hearts.

[P] Dear Father, just like how Jesus had "completed" his assignment on earth and gave up His Spirit on the Cross, I would like to dash towards the end of my life by fully serving You without any energy in me.  Please continue to guide me with Your wisdom so I may stay on that course.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
