Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
With these fundamentals, and inescapable facts in mind, the legacy that persons leave behind is what makes all the difference in life. If, after you carefully consider, and understand what Solomon is saying it is your choice and desire to do the most amount of good for the kingdom of God, for the longest time possible, then you may chart a course that would be productive of much good.
And if by the grace of God, you were to avoid some of the major pitfalls and failures along the way, you can leave a legacy of faithfulness and service behind so that the next generation could follow. All the life experiences that are written in the Bible, with the victories, and failures of some of the best who have ever lived, are written so that folks might make choices that are commensurate with a humble and teachable spirit.
We will take three examples to demonstrate what is being said so that persons may reach their fullest potential in the few years we have on this planet. We begin with Abraham, who was called by God to go to a land that he would be shown. That call was a call to service, and even though he did make a few missteps along the way, Abraham found redemption in Christ, and he was able by the grace of God to do much good between his entry and exit points.
Genesis 12:1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
