Thursday

“So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you:
Take your everyday, ordinary life—
your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—
and place it before God as an offering.
Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him.” ~Romans 12:1 MSG~

Leave

aaam.jpgWHAT SHOULD WE leave behind when we die…?

A faithful family.

We will leave a mourning family behind on that sad day, but will we leave a faithful one? Will each be on his or her way to heaven? We are not able to make decisions for them, but we will have a great influence on each, especially our children ( Proverbs 22:6).

Sarah left a godly man to mourn ( Genesis 23:2). Abraham left faithful sons behind ( Genesis 18:19; 25:8). Zebedee and Salome gave the world James and John. Lois taught Eunice, who molded Timothy ( 2 Timothy 1:5; 3:15).

If we would leave such a family, we must start NOW, because the years may come when they will not listen ( Ecclesiastes 12:2). No greater legacy can be left than faith in God and faithfulness to His church. (Allen Webster)

“You are the light of the world…” Matthew 5:14a
