Scripture: 1
Kings 2:4
so
that the LORD may carry out His promise which He spoke concerning me, saying,
'If your sons are careful of their way, to walk before Me in truth with all
their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack a man on the throne of
Israel.'
Insights: Today we conclude our lessons we learned
from King David as he instructed his son Solomon about life and living it
bravely. We have learned that we all
die, but while we live we need to live bravely.
The only way to truly live bravely is to focus on the Lord and the
primary way we do that is by spending time with Him in His Word, the
Bible. In today’s verse we see the end
result of a life lived bravely and that is a legacy. Notice that if Solomon lived this kind of
brave life which is devoted to the Lord, he would not lack a man on the throne
of Israel. What a promise. As parents we are supposed to be living a
life of example before our children. As
a result, we are helping teach them the way to live life with bravery. We are also supposed to engage the lost world
with the love of Jesus. If we share His
love and reach the lost, then we continue to expand our legacy. May your love for Jesus so compel you that
you desire to leave a legacy for Him which honors His name.
Questions:
- What
kind of legacy are you leaving behind you?
- In
whose life are you presently investing in order to change the future?
Prayer: Father, I
desire for my life to make a difference.
Let Your favor fall on me and let me pass on to others the lessons You
have taught me as You have discipled me.
Amen.
