| 0:00.0 | Hi, and welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. |
| 0:10.5 | I'm Mike Whitmer, and I titled today's reading, Life by Death. |
| 0:15.9 | Carl was battling cancer and needed a double lung transplant. |
| 0:20.0 | He asked God for new lungs, but felt odd doing so. |
| 0:23.4 | He confessed, it's a strange thing to pray, because someone has to die so I might live. |
| 0:30.9 | Carl's dilemma highlights a basic truth of scripture. God uses death to bring life. We see this in the story of the Exodus. |
