Isaiah 57:1-2: Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die. 2 Timothy 4:7, I have fought the good fight. I have completed the race. I have kept the faith.
