A prayer for when you fear death by Greg Lorry.

The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the stronghold of my life.

Of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 27.

1. Have you ever been stung by a bee? It's not a fun experience, but though

it's painful for the person being stung, it's fatal for the bee.

When a honeybee stings a person, it can't pull the little barbed stinger back out.

This is a one-time experience for them. They had

better think carefully about who they are going to sting because once they do it

they are not going to survive.

When a bee stings you, not only is the bee stinger left in you, but also a part of its

abdomen and digestive tract, as well as nerves and muscles. This massive

abdominal rupture kills the bee shortly after it stings. That is what happened

when Jesus died on the cross.

In his enduring hatred for God's son, Satan thought it would be a great idea to have Jesus

betrayed, arrested, beaten within an inch of his life and then crucified and put to death on a Roman

cross. The devil said, this is my moment. I'm going to sting sting him I will have a role in his death when he dies that is the end of him

Everything went according to Satan's plan and like a bee he flew off thinking he had

succeeded. But everything went according to God's plan as well and the sting of

death was its own defeat.
