Value of Your Life: A Reflection

Do you understand the incredible value of your life in God’s eyes, or do you live as though your existence doesn’t matter much to Him?

The psalmist declares that God considers the death of His saints precious and costly. This means the value of your life to God is so high that He actively intervenes to prevent your death before your appointed time.

When you face danger, illness, or life-threatening situations, God’s watchful care surrounds you because He treasures you immensely and will not easily allow harm to reach you.

Psalm 68:20 powerfully connects to this truth:

Our God is a God who saves! The Sovereign LORD rescues us from death.

God’s nature as a saving God means He actively works to preserve the value of your life from premature destruction. Like a limitless God who is mighty to save, He considers your life worth protecting with His unlimited power.

Every breath you take exists because God values you enough to sustain you.

As a believer, you have to live your life practically in the following ways:

• Stop believing the enemy’s lies that you’re worthless or disposable. God treasures you as precious.
• Face life-threatening situations knowing God will preserve you until your work for Him is complete.
• Thank Him for the dangers you escaped because He intervened supernaturally to protect what He values.
• Reject fear of premature death since God guards His treasured possessions fiercely.
• Live boldly for His purposes, knowing the value of your life guarantees His protective care over you.

Reflect on how God preserved David from countless assassination attempts because David’s life held tremendous value for God’s purposes.

King Saul tried repeatedly to kill David, yet God intervened every time because David’s appointed time hadn’t arrived.

Similarly, recognizing the value of your life to God means understanding that no weapon formed against you will prosper until God decides your work is finished.

He will guard, protect, and preserve you because you are precious in His sight.
