Gen 25,26 Ps 6 Luke 10

As I read these scriptures I was thinking about the men written about. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, the 72 disciples. People would say many things about them and to them in their life. Some men received truth from them. Some would hate them and try to kill them or just get rid of them. Some trusted them as men of God and some rejected them as fools or accusers of wrong doing. But in reality the only opinions that should matter to us are those of the people who really know us, our family, close friends and the opinion of Him who knows us best God Himself. God said of these men (Heb 11:13-16) that they died in faith not having seen Jesus. They recognized they were born to live with God in His kingdom. Therefore God was proud of them and prepared a city for them.

When I go to live with the Lord I want my family and friends to declare “he loved and he was loved” I want the Lord to say “Well done good and faithful servant” I look forward to these statements and try to live up to them. Maybe this Sunday we could begin to write our own eulogy, by the way we live our life. Therefore leaving a legacy for our children and the ones we love.

May God watch over you and bless you.
