What Will I Be Known For?

Scripture: Genesis 36::24 The sons of Zibeon:
Aiah and Anah. This is the Anah who discovered the hot springs in the desert while he was grazing the donkeys of his father Zibeon.

Observation: So much of the old testament is genealogies and it just states so and so begot so and so. Only a name states that they existed at all in the Bible. Out of this chapter only Anah was recognized as doing anything at all and that was finding a hot spring. We are only here for a short while and leave this earth with little or no impact at all. Even after a while family will forget, I have no idea who my great, great grandfather or mother was. Only a few become famous and their names are written in history books marking their accomplishments.

Application: I want to leave my mark for God. I want to make a difference in someone’s life that will last for eternity. If I can introduce one person to my Lord and savior and they receive His gift of eternal life, now that’s an accomplishment. My name doesn’t need to be in history books I just want it written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. May I be obedient and draw others near my Lord.

Prayer: My Lord I possess nothing that you haven’t given me and you have given me a command to spread the gospel. Take any laziness and fear from my spirit that I will step out and speak boldly of my love for you. Help me use the testimony you have blessed me with to show others your love. May I serve you with all of my heart.
