Legacy @promiseseeker

The world tells us that we need to make a name for ourselves. It tells you that you should build storehouses and pile up your wealth and significance. The world says that we need to make a legacy for ourselves in order to have worth. That we need to be known for something and we need to leave something behind. We even sometimes hear this from within church. But I think this promise points towards a different way. God's not interested in us building a legacy for ourselves but he is interested in using us to build His legacy.

Don't be striving after fame, significance and reputation in the wrong places. When we believe that God will do what He says He will, it gets credited to us as righteousness. (Genesis 15:7). 

“He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.””

Genesis 15:5 NIV

Abram wasn't going to personally have children to outnumber the stars, but the legacy of what GOD was doing in and through Him meant that his faithful obedient belief would change the world. One by one. Abram's job? Don't freak out by the promise and think you have to get there in your own strength. Don't try to build your own legacy. Believe God's word. Believe God's promises. Believe. Believe in God and His legacy becomes your legacy.
