The wonder is not that we die, the wonder is that we live. God is our Life, He is our Sustenance.
Col. 1:17 "... by Him all things consist."
GOD IS SO GREAT
Why does He keep us, sustain us? For His glory and our good.
He Sustains the Sinner so he might be Saved.
He Sustains the Saved so he might be Sanctified.
He Sustains the Sanctified so he might Serve Him.
He Sustains the Servant so that He might Seek others.
As I was thinking about the frailty and endless value of life I was reminded of what David said in Psalm 116:15
"Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints."
It should encourage us to desire and obtain godliness. However, the death of the sinner is a tragedy, on every level. Jesus did not die for anyone to go to hell. How sad for those who waste this momentary blink and miss eternal bliss.
Consider These Verses...
Psa 27:4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Joh 6:27 Labor not for the meat which perishes, but for that meat which endures unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
Php 3:13-14
13) ...but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14) I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
