Isaiah 57:1-2
The righteous perish,
and no one ponders it in his heart;
devout men are taken away,
and no one understands
that the righteous are taken away
to be spared from evil.
Those who walk uprightly
enter into peace;
they find rest as they lie in death.
In our moment of grief it is difficult to see how even death can be a blessing--at least for the one departed. How long would you want to live in a world full of trials? I think I would want to live long enough to understand what faith means.
