SETTING OUR HOUSE IN ORDER
And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father. (2Sa 17:23)

In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. (2Ki 20:1 )

OLD AGE AND RESPONSIBILITY
And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I. And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death: (Gen.27:1,2) (click on attachment below to read full report)

LIKENESSES AND DIFFERENCES IN OUR PERSONAL HISTORY

Gen. 5: 5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died. And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan: And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died.
In the previous lines, I have copied the briefest possible history of three men. These men’s lives were lived about five thousand years ago, and we have little information about, and very little ability to even imagine, how they lived. From the creation of Adam to the death of Enos, a period of 1,140 years transpired. We know a little of the changes that took place, but really, very little. All three of these men lived to be more than 900 years old, and each of them saw things the others had not seen, but they all had one thing in common. THEY DIED.

KEENER THOUGHTS - APRIL - 2012

THE GREATEST OF THESE IS CHARITY

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
