Day 101 – What kind of Legacy are you Leaving?
Today’s Reading: 1 Chronicles 20 – 24
1 Chronicles 22:5 “For David said, “Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and glory throughout all lands. I will therefore make preparation for it.” So David provided materials in great quantity before his death.”
While David was still king, God revealed to him that he would have a son named Solomon and this son would build the temple of the Lord. David knew that this would be a huge task, so he began collecting all of the supplies and arranging all of the talented craftsman Solomon would need in anticipation of what was to come. Essentially King David began to build Solomon an endowment because of his desire to see Solomon prosper and the work of the Lord continue. He was leaving a legacy for the future generations that would never be forgotten.
We all will leave some type of legacy for those that come after us. If I were to die today, and you were to come up to my children and ask them what it is they remember of me, one of them would probably say my morning prayer life. They could even demonstrate it for you, and if that is the only Legacy I leave, for me it is worth it. I want my children to know how to pray, when to pray, and why to pray, and the fact that they see me pray every morning and can show others, that does my heart good. Some people may leave legacies of money for their children or to help an organization thrive, some legacies may be of lies, and others legacies may be of accomplishments achieved over a lifetime. No matter what legacy you end up leaving I hope a majority of that will be a Legacy of Faith for those generations that follow you, to help them grow in their walk with Christ and allow them to continue to pass that legacy on to others for years and years to come.
Pause for a minute…..look at the cloud of witnesses around you, those that you are impacting….what kind of legacy are you leaving? It’s never to late to leave a legacy of faith!
