Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is "bequeath." Back in the day it was customary for a man to
make enough money and gain enough wealth to leave to his family and future
generations. Solomon tells us here that
we should be focused on both taking care of people financially, but more
importantly spiritually. He knew that
the way that people conducted themselves would influence future
generations. The importance of a
relationship with God was key because even after someone died that relationship
continued to minister to others.
A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children,
but the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous.”
~Pr. 13:22
My question is: what you plan to leave behind, what is your
legacy? I know that when I began to do
ministry with my first boss and mentor, the man who brought to Christ, he had a
long-term perspective. He brought me on
staff as a youth pastor under his care.
He said something that I will always remember. He told me that if he and I did ministry
together for the next 5 to 10 years, that we could change a community through
influence and service. And, we did just
that. My prayer is that you find out
what is important to you and that you put your whole heart into it, knowing
that Jesus will bless your efforts and allow you to be a positive impact on
those whom you serve.
Praying for you,
Mo
