Legacy

Hezekiah trusted in the Lord God of Israel; not one of the kings of Judah was like him, either before him or after him. 6 He held fast to the Lord and did not turn from following Him but kept the commandments the Lord had commanded Moses. 7 The Lord was with him, and wherever he went, he prospered.

2 Kings 18:5-7 (HCSB)

King Hezekiah had a reputation! It was a spiritual reputation. No other King of Judah was like him. He had a spiritual legacy that lasted the test of time. Honestly, I think we all want to have some kind of legacy, it is Human nature. We want what we do to having a lasting affect. We want our name to be remembered for something. Hezekiah was remembered for all the right reasons.

The Scripture tells us he held onto the Lord (he clung to Him), he followed God and he followed His word. He remained faithful to God and God was with him and prospered him.

Christ follower, what will your legacy be? Will you be remembered because you clung to the Lord, followed in His ways and obeyed His Word? There are so many poor examples to follow it is really good to see a good one.

What will your legacy be?
