Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Our God is a God of salvation, and to GOD, the Lord, belongs escape from death. Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord, O rider in the heavens, the ancient heavens; listen, he sends out his voice, his mighty voice. Ascribe power to God, whose majesty is over Israel; and whose power is in the skies. Awesome is God in his sanctuary, the God of Israel; he gives power and strength to his people. Blessed be God! (Psalm 68:19-20, 32-35, NRSV)
And to God, the Lord, belongs escape from death…
What an interesting line. Because as Iron Maiden said in one of their songs, “as soon as you’re born you’re dying…”
It is inevitable we will all die a physical death.
Yet we do not have to die. We can continue in life with God beyond our physical deaths.
So while physical death is a step, we can thank God for solving the mystery of death for us and being the one to whom death does not hold any power.
