It was the Lord who said that “The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength, labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away”
President Carter lived more than 70 years; He lived an extra 30 more years.
But this also shows us something else that is true.
It shows us that the human body is frail. Looking at him when he was an active soldier and to see him in the final six months before he died, you asked yourself, is he the same person?
Here the word of God comes in very handy 2 Corinthians 4:16″For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day”
It is my belief that there are many centurions whose health are challenging but remain true servants of God and are waiting for this mortal to put on immortality and to give us a body like unto his glorious body. President Jimmy Carter will one day like all of us believers, receive a body like his, bless the Lord.
Life well lived unto the LORD and in Service to his fellow men. His motto was to Love God and the person before him, his neighbor. We are all servants of The Most High God, and when we have finished our course here on earth may we all hear these Blessed words, WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT. AMEN.
