Yes, you have been with me from birth; from my mother's womb you have cared for me. No wonder I am always praising you!
My life is an example to many, because you have been my strength and protection.
Now that I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God. Let me proclaim your power to this new generation, your mighty miracles to all who come after me.
Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the highest heavens. You have done such wonderful things. Who can compare with you, O God?
Psalm 71:6–7, 18–19
The people of Israel mourned for Moses on the plains of Moab for thirty days, until the customary period of mourning was over.
There has never been another prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.
Deuteronomy 34:8, 10
But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus - the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.
"And now I know that none of you to whom I have preached the Kingdom will ever see me again.
"So guard yourselves and God's people. Feed and shepherd God's flock - his church, purchased with his own blood - over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you as leaders.
Acts 20:24–25, 28
The pure in heart shall see God. The seeing of Him will be the sign that we are like Him, for only by being like Him can we see Him as He is. But when we shall be fit to look Him in the face, God only knows. That is the heart of my hopes by day and my dreams by night. To behold the face of Jesus seems to me the one thing to be desired.
