DO THEY KNOW?

Today's reading: Psalm 12-14

"Help, O Lord, for the godly are fast disappearing! The faithful have vanished from the earth!" Psalm 12:1 NLT

I've always said my greatest fear is dying--hang with me here, it's not just dying--dying, and having people read my obituary and when they get to the line that says, 'she was a faithful Christian and follower of God', they are stunned.

That they didn't know.

That this would be news to them.

That thought has scared me, worried me, pushed me.

But this morning, I read this verse. This verse that talks about the same thing, kind of.

You see, I may need to change what I'm afraid of...

What if the folks around me, my neighbors, friends and family, think the godly are disappearing and the faithful have vanished--and I am not even thought of? Not considered an exception to their assumption?

I cannot stand the thought of not being noticed as being His. In this life, or after I'm gone!
