Ready to Die

Psalms Bible Background

08.10.2014 Old Testament: Psa 88.15–18

To read the Bible in a year, read Psalms 88–89 on August 10, In the year of our Lord 2014

By Don Ruhl

Some people have constant afflictions, which prepare them to die at any moment,

I have been afflicted and ready to die from my youth;
I suffer Your terrors;
I am distraught.
Your fierce wrath has gone over me;
Your terrors have cut me off.
They came around me all day long like water;
They engulfed me altogether.
Loved one and friend You have put far from me,
And my acquaintances into darkness.
(Psalm 88.15–18). 

While that may not describe all of us, yet, we know that eventually all of us shall be afflicted with something and die.

So then, are you ready to die?
