June 18, 2010 ~ Store it Up

What are you saving up for?


TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments"

Deuteronomy 7:9

Jesus went before us and paved the way for victory. Because He lives, we can live in victory in this life and in eternity. But not only can we live in victory, we can help others live in victory, too. We can help the people around us, and we can help the people who are coming after us. We can store up mercy, peace and blessings for future generations.

Selah people' and friends the life we live should make it easier for the people after us. By living a life of excellence, we are leaving a mark for future generations. And really, that’s what matters most in eternity. It’s good to leave an inheritance, but the most valuable thing you can leave on this earth is a legacy of faith. I ask each of you today..."What are you storing up?" As I shared with the family of Tammy Evrard at her memorial service yesterday we must live a life as a tribute for her and the mark she has left on and in each of us.

OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:

"Father God, today I choose to focus on eternal things. I choose to store up a legacy of faith, mercy, excellence and hope for future generations. Help me, by your Spirit, to live a life that honors You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen."

Your brother in Christ,

Patrick
