 | It was the rays of diffused light glistening and dazzling as they danced across the crests of the waves that caused my eyes to smart. I stopped and perched myself by the water’s edge—it was then that I spotted it… A timeworn joist clinging desperately to the boulders locked in a futile struggle against the pounding surf. I thought about the scarred hands of the craftsmen involved in its creation. What would they say about their labors if they could see it now lying discarded and broken; to be the repository for finger stained habits or a meal for all things tiny that are squished underfoot? To watch helplessly as with each passing moment it slipped just little further out of sight? Is this the heritage they hoped to leave behind? |
What type of legacy are you leaving behind? Praise God we have the True and Better Craftsman! The One who through His scarred hands forged the bridge to eternal life and placed within us a birthright that will never tarnish. The only real legacy we can leave behind is people. Let us labor not to build an inheritance of moth and rust, but one of crowns that we can cast at His holy feet.
Matthew 6:19-20 (ESV) Jesus said, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal."
Matthew 6:19-20 (ESV) Jesus said, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal."
