God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don't have now, we don't need now.

We are not meant to die merely in order to be dead. God could not want that for the creatures to whom He has given the breath of life. We die in order to live.

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.
