A GODLY HERITAGE

Not everyone has had the privilege of growing up in a godly home. I believe it is the single most important thing you can give to your children on this earth. Having said that, I also believe that God knows all about our parents and other ancestry and is able to use all of it for His honor and glory. Consider Ruth and Rahab as well as others that did not have a godly heritage but were a part of beginning one.

I heard someone say yesterday "You can't do anything about your ancestors but you can do something about your descendants." How encouraging is that? If you haven't come from a Christian heritage, it's very encouraging! If men and women would only get a grasp of what it means to rear their children and lead their families in the ways of the Lord! Sometimes pastor's can only watch as fathers and/or mothers decide to "check out" and go the way of the world. By that I mean they just let whatever will be take place regardless of the outcome on their homes.

If we don't intentionally cultivate a godly home, it simply won't exist. We have to be diligent in our daily life and tend to our families like a well-planned garden, weeding and planting accordingly. I love to see God start a work in a Christian's life, be it the mother or the father, and watch as they begin a godly heritage for their children and grandchildren.

If mothers and fathers would sit down with their children and ask them what kind of home they'd like to be a part of, I'm sure what they'd hear from their own children would redirect their thinking. What child does not want the peace and security that comes when a father leads his family spiritually and the mother supports him and encourages her children in the ways of the Lord?

The same way that one person can begin a godly heritage, it can also be stopped cold by one person that decides to go another path. If pastors could "fix" people's lives and homes he would. All that he can do is preach the word and pray that the Holy Spirit of God will do a work in people's hearts. Is yours a godly heritage? If not why not begin one now. If you have given up on yours, ask God to set you back on the right path before its too late.
