Legacy

Scripture: Proverbs 10 Key Verse: 10:7
The name of a righteous person remains blessed, but the names of wicked people will rot away.

Objective:
This chapter of proverbs is a bunch of one liners that are set up mostly as good vs. bad (actions, people, mindsets)

Application:
The name of a person in my mind is the legacy of the person. When we die we leave a legacy whether we like it or not. There are three types of legacies; Righteous, wicked, and Apathetic. The verse talks about the first two. The Righteous remains blessed, and is remembered for what they have done. The Wicked rot away, and if not forgotten are thought of with much disdain. The Apathetic are quickly forgotten about, because they have had little impact on this world.

Legacies do not have to be world-wide. Change the life of one person and that will create your legacy. Jesus said that those that believe in Him will do greater things than he did. I think He wants us to create a legacy not for us, but for His name. However, there are people out there creating a negative legacy for His name. There needs to be a revolution that teaches the world the true legacy of Jesus.

Prayer:
Jesus thank you for everything you have done. Help me be a legacy for you. Help me show the world who you truly are. Help us become more than apathetic christians that let your name be stomped on in the mud. Let the world see the true Christ Followers.
