Life is sometimes measured in inches

A man at our congregation had an accident a few days ago and nearly died. In the circumstances of the accident, his life was spared because of just a few inches. It makes me reflect on the fragility of life. We are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14), but we are also exceedingly fragile.


A little bit here or a little bit there, and we would be dead. Thinking about it in one way is remarkable, but in another way is very sobering. Peter said, “But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer” (1 Peter 4:7). You never know when life will present you with circumstances where death could come immediately. Are you ready?
