Solomon says,
"The memory of the righteous will be a blessing"
(Proverbs 10:7 NIV). So, how will you be remembered? Whatever your
story, you're writing it now. Don't get the wrong idea; we're not
thinking about dying so much as we are about living.
Here are five things that will remain when you go.
(1) Your investments for
Christ in people: therefore you must increase your spiritual
deposits.
(2) Your prayers will
live forever before God's throne: therefore you must pray more, and
pray for the generations that may follow you.
(3) Your life's story may
live on to inspire others: therefore you must live to the fullest
God's script of faithfulness, excellence and godliness.
(4) Your giving can
enable your local church to reach your community, cause a mission's
school to thrive, a devotional to be printed, a Christian station
to be supported, or a lost loved one to be reached: therefore you
must give, and give sacrificially so that the harvest you reap will
far outlive the seeds you have sown.
(5) Your children will
carry your physical and spiritual DNA: therefore you must know that
they walk with God, and that the faith of your fathers will live on
through your children and your grandchildren to touch future
generations.
Concerning Abel, the
Bible says, "By faith he still speaks, even though he is
dead" (He 11:4 NIV).
You can touch the future
for good and for God - but only if you plan to!
