DEVOTION: And Nadab his son succeeded him as king. Nadab, son of Jeroboam became king of Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned for two years. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of his father and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit. 1 Kings 14:20b and 15:25-26
How'd you like to have the above written about you? What if you became king of Israel? What would your legacy be? Would you be one who reformed and straightened out the country and helped them to serve God by serving them, or would you be a tyrant and a king who did evil and caused your nation to commit sin?
I often think about this when I'm thinking about the different vocations God in which God has put me. I think about it as a pastor, as a dad, and even ass a friend. I don't want to be known as a man who causes others to sin or as one who does evil in the sight of the Lord. I want to be known as a good father, a good pastor, and a good friend.
At the same time, I know that I have often lost sight of this. I haven't always been a good dad, pastor, or friend. I have failed in too many ways to even count. This is when I have the biggest opportunity to be a good influence on the people around me. I can either be unrepentant and continue in my evil ways, or I can repent and turn to God for forgiveness.
I am thankful to the Holy Spirit that he ahs moved me to do the latter. I am thankful to God that he has made me realize my sinfulness and my need for a Savior! I am thankful that I can be a good example of humility and repentance so that I can be a good example to my kids, my church, and my friends!
And really, when it comes down to it and someone writes my obituary, all I want it to say is "He believed in Jesus, and Jesus was his Savior.
What do you want your obituary to read?
Prayer: Lord, thank you for turning my heart to repentance and for not letting me get too prideful. Turn the hearts off others to you through me. Amen.
