Devotion 11/9, Be a blessing
The memory of the righteous will be a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.
Proverbs 10:7
What kind of imprint will you leave on your children, grandchildren, friends and others God brings into your life? The Bible instructs us many times to be a good witness for Christ to those we come into contact with each day. This doesn’t mean that we will be perfect. We should seek to lead a life of strength through submission to God and compassion for others. Lord help us to live lives that point others to the foot of the cross of Christ!
Lord, may my life be a sweet blessing to my children and my children’s children long after my physical appearance is gone. May this be true spiritually and physically. May my influence bring you glory and lead others to know you and your grace. Forgive me when I fail to see or remember the length of the shadow my influence casts, and help me to see those you have purposely sent my way to touch with your grace. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
