I'm sure other Christians have called the media on this but it's a lesson worth repeating. In literature, movies and television, there is so often repeated that statement "taken before their time". Aside from being ignorant, this phrase and others like it are a direct slap to GOD.
GOD has our lives so measured that HE knows the amount of hairs are on our head(Matt 10:30, Today's NIV). It was HE who set our lifespan.(Genesis 6:3, Today's NIV) The amount of days in our life were decided before we stepped into this world of ours. When we go home is at HIS discretion and it is never before HIS time.
What one should be concerned about is that they be ready when that time comes. That can arrive before the next breath. For those who don't know Christ, HE is as near to you as the air you breathe. HE loves you and wants you safe. But HE respects your free will and won't come unasked.
To those of the Body of Believers, we should be about our GOD given tasks. When HE comes in HIS perfect time, we want to be ready as well.
