Wow!īuild something that honors God and touches generations after your departure. This is why we are called to honor our elders, parents, and leaders-because it sets up a generational flow that God will use. Honor must flow through generations for great buildings and plans to be fulfilled. It seems quite ironic to me that David wanted to build something to honor God, but it wasn’t God’s will or plan. “ ‘Nevertheless, you are not the one to build the temple, but your son, your own flesh and blood-he is the one who will build the temple for my Name.’” (2 Chronicles 6:9, NIV) My mom is a legend in my mind, and I can assure you she honored God with the works of her devotion.ĭavid had a dream and planned to honor God: “ But the LORD said to my father David, ‘You did well to have it in your heart to build a temple for my Name.’” (2 Chronicles 6:8, NIV) It was a good desire according to God, but David’s son, Solomon, had been chosen to fulfill it. ![]() It’s not a coincidence that three of us have served God in ministry and the other two are incredible people. ![]() We talked about her funeral, heaven, and her best contribution: she loved her children. We talked for hours about her life and legacy before that fateful day. It came as no surprise.she was 100 years old. The Bible says that David expressed his dream to do something special for God: “‘ My father David had it in his heart to build a temple for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.’” (2 Chronicles 6:7, NIV) David wanted to build a temple to honor God. Isn’t that weird? Why don’t we talk about legacies and the best way to honor God? Are we afraid of dying? Are we in denial? To be honest with you, I’ve never sat down with a teacher or pastor and discussed the subject. ![]() It is definitely not easy, and no one has trained me to accomplish this great objective. Would you like to leave a legacy that honors God? It’s been a driving force in my life and consciousness.
