Legacy

I was watching a show the other night, where the officer was reading a victim's diary to learn more about her. Later in the show the officer was talking to the family member and stated to the husband that he should tell the rest of the story to finish her legacy. This is true, we have so much time on the earth to share our legacy, through diaries, time lines, journals and biographies. Now with technology we have blogging. Our legacies are being made with every word that we write and express. This is also shown in the Word of God. He left us a legacy of promises that have been truly fulfilled. Every word in the bible is living and the promises are to be meditated day and night and planted on our hearts. If we loose hope in this, we will loose hope for generation to come. This is why we need to hold on to the promises and spread them with our family and friends. Tell your story. I remember a friend told me, their are sixty six book in the bible and our story is the sixty seventh. Make that story.

Promises of God through the word:

Joshua 1:8
"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."

Psalm 19:11
"Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward."

Luke 11:28
"But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it."

John 8:31
"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;"

Revelation 1:3
"Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand."

Psalm 119:11
"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee,"

Luke 2:19
"But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart."


The Word of God is so important in our lives. If we truly want to change and grow in God, we need to make the word a daily part of our lives. I hope that this new year becomes more evident to you because of the word. Amen
