Life & Loss

July 26, 2026

Psalm 116:1-19 – The psalmist celebrates God’s deliverance after coming face-to-face with death. Since loss is inevitable, let it shape the way you trust God with your life.

The certainty of death brings clarity to life.

Life Is Fragile (1-4)

  • Desperate prayers often produce the deepest love for God.
  • You rarely appreciate the gift of life until you feel the threat of death.

God Is Faithful (5-11)

  • You’ll rest when you know God can carry what you cannot.
  • Every day you live is another undeserved gift from God.

Gratitude Is Fitting (12-14)

  • Grace that is freely received can never be fully repaid.
  • Salvation doesn’t demand repayment; it inspires devotion.

Death Isn’t Final (15-19)

  • Death may be inevitable, but panic doesn’t have to be.
  • Your final breath will not be your final praise.
