legacy

In ancient times, your legacy really mattered. Children were the hope that your family would continue, that what God had spoken over you would multiply in the generations to come.

In fact, the Bible shows us that children themselves are a testimony that points to God’s holiness...

“When they see among them their children, the work of my hands, they will keep my name holy; they will acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One of Jacob and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.” - Isaiah 29:23

It might not always be obvious, but children are meant to inspire awe and holiness. The reason is that they’re evidence that God’s word is true, His promises are faithful, and that He is holy. In fact, God wants to display that message across all the generations - from the youngest to the oldest - so that the nations ‘acknowledge the Holy One’ who began the promise in our community. 
Whichever generation you belong to, you have the opportunity today to display the holiness of God. 

So. Do you have a legacy? Today as you pray and fast, ask God to reveal His holiness through the generations after you, before you, and around you. 
What will you leave behind you today? What will people thank you for at the end of the day?
