Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15 Charles Spurgeon said this about the verse: Saints will not die prematurely they will be immortal until their work is done. When their time comes to die, their deaths will be precious. The Lord watches over their death beds, smoothes their pillows, sustains their hearts, and receives their souls. Those who are redeemed with the priceless blood are so cherished by God that even their deaths are precious to him. The death beds of saints are precious to the church, and she often learns much from them. They are precious to believers who treasure the last words of the departed. But they are most precious to the LORD Jehovah. He views the triumphant deaths of His gracious ones with sacred delight. If we have walked before Him in the land of the living, we need not fear to die before him when the hour of our departure is at hand. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss of your precious mother.Dennis and Sherry Amber
