So I have finished another day of reading the Bible as part of the 90 day reading plan. Today's reading ended with a mention of those who make covenants with death. Now, today this may not speak well enough to us since we see ourselves as being invincible to the superstitions of the spiritual world. Many of us may even say that things such as "la santa muerte" are just ridiculous images.
However, we still devote our lives to money. Cars. Jobs. Jewels. Apple products. Materials. Are these things living? These may not be the same as death, our universal fate, but we can become dead by investing all of our intentions and our lives into inanimate things. When we take a step back to look at what we are doing with our lives, do we see ourselves getting life in return? Are we merely wasting away?
Upon reading the verse below, I wanted to think of the ways I can invest in life. I can devote more time to God. In fact, I can devote more time into reviving the kingdom of God, for that will bring me life. Perhaps the best investment we should make is in our lives in God. God promises us life, a feeling that everything is OK – nothing is a mystery. When we consider our investments, we can see that the best market is the one in God.
Isaiah 28:15 NIV
You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death, with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement. When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by, it cannot touch us, for we have made a lie our refuge and falsehood our hiding place.”
