Overcoming anxiety and depression. This gives us faith that we made the plan. Going from Philippians 4:6-7, they are being cast our problems and we must go to God through prayer until given so that he will give us peace and understanding.
This peace guided Lazarus which in the Bible was a beggar. In Luke 16:20 Lazarus endured poverty, hunger, and death. Lazarus was so faithful in God that he was at last given eternal life in Abraham's bottom. Proving that this lack does not define our destiny.
The story of Lazarus contrasts with this rich man's faith. This is a very profound. In Hebrews 9:10-11, we declare that faith shapes what we follow. So whether we are poor, educated, or not, we all face death someday and we believe that Lazarus must find hope beyond this.
Isaiah 1, this further gives us that the mercies of God sometimes are taken early so that they will be spared from all kinds of evil year on earth. So this is a very important perspective that transforms us from the fear of death so that we can accept the will of God.
The main difference is that preparing us for death eliminates the pressure. Let us keep trusting on God's promise so that we can find comfort in this plan just as Lazarus did. And also the thief on the cross.
