Here I am, sitting this morning thinking about all the incredible miracle stories of God’s protection, provision, healing, help and leadership that my mother and dad told me. As a boy I could listen to them for hours! Now I’ve got a few of my own stories to tell! I want to pass on the legacy of God’s faithfulness and power to my children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and students and friends!
Thought of that as I read these words from the Bible this morning…
“WE HAVE HEARD IT WITH OUR EARS, O GOD; OUR ANCESTORS HAVE TOLD US WHAT YOU DID IN THEIR DAYS, IN DAYS LONG AGO. With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our ancestors; you crushed the peoples and made our ancestors flourish. It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them. You are my King and my God, who decrees victories for your people… I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; but You give us victory… In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever!” (Psalm 44:1–8 NIV)
Tell them… share them… preserve them! They’re “spiritual legacy!” They’ll impact and challenge the coming generation and generations to come!
