And the priest gave to the captains
the spears and shields
that had been King David's,
which were in the house
of the LORD.
2 Kings 11. 10
What are we working on,
investing in,
preparing and preserving
to be passed down
as a legacy
and engrained strength
for the generations to come?
What do others see in us?
May we scatter
hand-me-downs
of strength, grace and faith.
Our children witness
our actions,
attitudes and words
to the furthest generation.
Faithfulness to the LORD
is not just observable,
but multiplies
far beyond our lifetimes.
It can't help but
change a life,
including our own.
O LORD,
Thank You for providing
the witness of the saints
that have come before us.
Strengthen us
that we may pass on
the knowledge of You
and leave behind tangible shields
for the well-being of others
that they may know You.
