Build A Monument!
"Even when I am old and gray, do not
forsake me, my God, till I declare your
power to the next generation."
Psalm 71: 18
A blog titled A Million God Stories tells the story
about a woman whose brother was murdered
and whose mother died of cancer.
This woman spiraled downward until she found a special treasure.
“I found my mom’s Bible and it was like a love letter to me. She had
written all sorts of things in the margins.” The Lord used this Bible
to restore her life.
In the Old Testament, the heroes of Scripture left monuments
behind to remind upcoming generations of God’s faithfulness.
We must do the same, and the monuments we leave may be
as simple as a well-marked Bible.
Think about it today: How can you build a monument?
How can you leave a testimony behind, letting future
generations know of God’s faithfulness in your life?
It’s like leaving behind a love letter. God is glorified in our
monuments to His past faithfulness and in our testimonies
to the next generation about how He has blessed us.
"It is a debt which the old disciples of Christ owe to the
succeeding generations to leave behind them a solemn
testimony to power, pleasure, and advantage of religion,
and the truth of God’s promises."
Matthew Henry
