As powerful as mortal man THINKS he is, he is powerless against the Almighty power of God when God declares that his life shall cease and end, and he shall die. Earthly men may think themselves to be little sovereigns and very powerful, but NOT ONE mortal man has the power over the spirit (or as it means over his life) to retain or keep the spirit", and to keep himself in life, or to keep himself alive! Man loves to think to himself that he can control many things, he stands tall in pride and arrogance, shaking his fist at God until God abases him, weakens him, and brings him down to the grave in death; taking back that life that He gave to him. Regrettably, most in this life live as if they will never die; that is to live the life of a fool! |
