All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Did you know that God desires to see us live a long good life? Many today believe that when a person dies, it was God's timing for them to die and that the fullness of their days have been lived out according to God's will. However, according to the Bible, God's will isn't always manifested here on earth as God desires it, and there is no guarantee that we will live out the fullness of our days. Yes, I believe that God has appointed our days, and has a plan for our lives, but my question is, are we fulfilling those years? Are we living to our full potential? Consider these passages that we are given in God's Word, which speak of extending our lifespan: Prov 10:27,  Prov 3:1-2 Let me ask you this, when a person has an abortion, is that God's appointed time for that baby to die? When somebody commits suicide, is that God's appointed time for them to die? When somebody gets drunk, and kills an entire family, was that God's appointed time for them to die? Is it Biblical to "die before your time"? YES! Ecclesiastes 7:17 To say that we cannot die before our time, would justify murder and abortion. Somebody who has committed murder would not be guilty of sin, because they were merely cooperating with God's plan to take the person home. But murder is a serious sin, because it takes a person's life before it is their time to die. Just as it is never God's will for a woman to be raped, or a child to be molested, it is also not necessarily God's will for a person to die before their time. Not everything that happens here on earth is the will of God. If everything that happened here on earth was God's will, then that would make God out to be a terrible father... desiring to see His children raped, murdered, molested, and tortured. Such things are in complete opposition to the nature of our loving Father.  Ezekiel 18:32 so it is Biblical to "fullfill your days"? Yes!
