“You are not prepared to live,” said the profes-sor to his philosophy class, “until you are ready to die.” Few, if any, live with that thought in mind.When he was twenty years old, David was di-agnosed with cancer. Af-ter a careful examination the attending physician said to him, “I’m sorry, but you have only a short time to live. At the most, two years.” David took the news without flinching. He had accepted Christ as his Savior six months before he was given the news. As the disease pro-gressed and his health deteriorated his faith con-tinued to grow. And as his faith grew so did his will-ingness to witness and he gained a boldness about sharing God’s grace. On one occasion he said, “Cancer brought me to my
knees and I realized I had no control over my life.”During a visit with one of his physicians he was asked, “Do you want to live a short time for God or a long time for noth-ing?” He responded by saying, “Whether I live a short time or a long time it will be for God. My life is in His hands.”Shortly before his death his mother would walk into his room and ask, “David, are you still here?” Each time he would answer, “Yes, Mother. I’m still here.” On the last day of his life she went into his room and asked, “David are you still here?” His reply that day was, “Yes, Mother, but not for much longer. I’m going home.” He looked around the room and said, “Mother, faith is a lighted room.”Where does a faith like David=s come from? “God will redeem my life from the grave,” said the Psalmist, “he will surely take me to Himself.” It comes from faith in Christ.David lived his life know-ing he was ready to die.

False Teachers Will Be Judged . . .2 Peter 1:12-15
Remember These Things12Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be es-tablished in the present truth. 13Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; 14Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. 15Moreover I will endeav-our that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
