Another "unsaved misconception"

When a person is dying, and say a close relative is coming in from out of town, sometimes the person stays alive until the relative gets there,and maybe even wakes up from unconiousness , opens their eyes to see the relative, which prompts the unsaved relative to say, "She stayed alive just long enough so that their loved one could say their goodbyes."And I've heard them say things like ,"They 'willed themselves' to stay alive until everyone left, then they died."But I have a problem with that. While human determination can give you some more "oomph" to do certain things,where life and death are concerned, doesn't the Bible state,our days are "numbered".And at times in the Bible, we read that God changed the lifespan."MY{Gods}spirit will not strive with man indefinatelyTherefore his days are one hundred and twenty." Who's spirit? That's God talking in His word. It doesn't read , "But if the person wants to stay longer than God appointed him, he can overrride God and stick around longer." If what these people say is true, explain someone who dies a sudden death, like massive heart attack or by violence. Did they "will THEMSELVES" to live long enough to say goodbye to their family. Indeed , the family is notified. If they had willed THEMSELVES and told the family "I'm going to die. But before I die, I decided to override the date God appointed for me and say goodbye to you." Trust me, if someone goes in the ocean swimming, and a shark chews them up, and they die from loss of blood, are they going to tell the shark, "Hold on a minute. Keep me alive long enough to to say goodbye to everyone?"I think what's happening is, the people who SEEMINGLY outlive their time,GOD is keeping them alive by His grace to say goodbye to their loved ones. So the problem I see here is these people are attributing something God did to mans power by THEIR will instead of GODS.But hasn't it been that way since the Garden, the devil told Man HE had the power instead of God?Uh-huh?

All unsaved people have miscomceptions of all kinds. When your time to depart planet earth has come, Jesus is with you all the time. People tells me that they heart the sweet sounds of songs of praise to God almighty. Millions and millions of angels along with the cherubim and seraphims joining them in praise to Jesus. Glorious songs of glory. All we have to do is this. Wait and see what Jesus has prepared for you and for those you care for. Our time on earth is ticking and we should be ready to see the Lord sooner than we think. The Corona virus has taught us a lesson. We do not belong on earth. Our life can be taken away sooner than we take a last breath. Just live a life that pleases the Lord. Loving Him with all your heart, mind and soul. Sharing the Lord with those who re perishing and making sure that... Follow peace with all men and holiness without which no one shall see the Lord.

Not everyone gets to stay longer to say goodbye. But I do believe God has his plans and lets the dying person live a little longer to say goodbye, because God sees how much the person wants to do this. No one over rides God's plans. We must all be ready when God calls us home. God bless

Yes, that I believe, like you say GOD lets them...unlike the unsaved say,the person decided on their own.
