As sad as the death of popular celebrities may be, they sure remind us of a universal truth.
Every day is a gift, no matter who you are.
And as the Bible says... inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, after this comes judgment (Heb. 9:27).
Sobering.
But constructive too.
Because it's an occasion to take eternal realities to heart.
And it reminds us to always look to Jesus as our source of righteousness and hope...
... and to constantly live by faith in Him, so we'd be all He's called us to be during the days He gives us.
