WRITING MY WILL
Today's reading: Psalm 102-104

What would I like to leave my son when I'm gone? What would I choose as his inheritance? What might I have a lawyer write up as my last will and testament? What might I leave as a legacy to my descendants, my loved ones and my friends?

One thing and one thing only: God.

"My life passes as swiftly as the evening shadows, I am withering like grass. But you, O Lord, will rule forever. Your fame will endure to every generation." Psalm 102:11-12 NLT

Nothing I can do will last. Nothing I can accumulate will do anything but rust and rot. Nothing I could gather up in a safety deposit box, a jewelry chest or a piece of property would ever have the impact on the lives of those I will one day leave like Jesus.

He can where I cannot. He will where I am unable. He is where I am not. He will be when I won't.

I'm writing God, my relationship with Him and my desire that those who follow after me follow Him, into my will!
