1 Chronicles 28:8 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.
In our Scripture today, David is making his final address before he passes on to his eternal reward and his son Solomon takes over. In this farewell speech, David gives us in this one verse "Life Lessons for a Lasting Legacy."
- Live for the Lord - "Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD,"
- Listen to the Lord - "...and in the audience of our God,"
- Learn from the Lord - "keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God:"
What will your lasting legacy be?
- Leaving a Lasting Legacy - "that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever."
Everyone leaves something behind - wouldn't you like to leave a Godly legacy for the generations that follow? Each of us, no matter what stage in life we may be, would do well to follow David's life lessons for a lasting legacy.
It is such a blessing to see a lifetime of guidance in a single verse. God's word never ceases to amaze me -- He continues to speak to us daily.
