Over 150,000 people
Had a divine appointment today
Nameless and faceless to most
But each is known by God
The One to Whom we must give an account
The date of that divine appointment
Was set long before we took our first breath
The One who formed us in our mother’s womb
Measured our days and scheduled the appointment
The day and the hour when we will take our last breath
In the Bible
God counsels us
To number our days
He warns us that it is appointed for man to die once
Then comes judgment
There are no second chances
There are no mulligans to be claimed
Though all will stand before God one day
Not all paths will end in heaven
For some another place has been reserved
For those who have rejected God
All of their days
Those who have worshipped a god
Of their own making
They will spend eternity separated from God’s presence
And such were some of us
Until the Son of Man
Set us free
From the bondage of sin and death
He put us on the narrow path
We found there is but One Way to salvation
Through Jesus Christ our Lord
If you confess with your mouth
And believe with your heart
You will be saved!

Really thought provoking! I liked it a lot. It's something we should think about more often for we have a responsibility as believers to those around us.
I just lost a brother in December unexpectedly, and the only comfort we have when that "divine appointment" comes is, as believers, to know that we will be reunited in Christ.
We all have divine appointments. We just don't know when. Thank you for your poem.
