Leaving An Inheritance

 

...the spears and shields

that had been King David's.

               2 Kings 11. 10

(Holding on tight to the

   valued things of the LORD

and filling the storehouses

of our souls with His strength,

     wisdom and grace

to provide and protect those

    who come after us.

His Word, witness and withness

comprise an unfailing inheritance

    for the well-being of ourselves

    and good news for others 

    who we may not even know.

What we do every day spiritually,

what we pursue and invest,

how God changes our hearts

  have a direct influence

             on this generation

       and the next.)

O LORD,

You have provided for us

     tools in our toolbox

to both use and pass on.

Empower us to take hold

    and grasp in our hands

how wide and long

and high and deep

    is Your love for us.

Help us to know

   and to show others

how to use

    spears of incredible grace

    and shields of mercy

for Your sake,

for Your Kingdom,

in Your name.

            Even today.
