Scripture:
“The son of Carmi (a descendant of Zimri) was Achan, who brought disaster on Israel by taking plunder that had been set apart for the Lord.” “Segub was the father of Jair, who ruled twenty-three towns in the land of Gilead.” 1 Chronicles 2:7 NLT, 1 Chronicles 2:22 NLT
Observation:
Achan was remembered for bringing disaster on Israel by taking plunder that was set apart for the Lord. Jair was remembered for ruling 23 towns in Gilead. Both men were remembered, but they were remembered very differently.
Application:
We have to step back sometimes and ask ourselves what people will say about us after we are gone. We will be known by our actions. What we did, how we treated people, and our leadership will outlive us. We are going to be known for something, we just have to determine what that will be. We need to lead such a life that we leave a legacy of the goodness of God.
Prayer:
Lord God, I want to leave a legacy of strong leadership by example. I want to live a life that is blessed by You and that inspires others to follow You. I want to be remembered as a man of faith and dedication to the Lord and His purposes. I’m going to leave a legacy, let it be for Your kingdom,
Your Son,
Jeff
