In September The Sanctuary held a beautiful service honoring our grandparents and older saints where we were inspired to follow the footsteps of the faithful men and women who have stayed the course, fought the battles, and are keeping the faith.
You may not have been born into a Godly heritage or have parents who are serving the Lord. It may feel like you are navigating life alone, but don’t overlook the elders the Lord has placed in your life.
For a faithful elder has so much wisdom to offer.
As Deuteronomy 32:7 says, "Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee."
Take time to sit and talk with the Godly elders that the Lord has placed around you. Listen to their stories. Look into the eyes of those who have made mistakes, overcome, and now have clarity of hindsight through years of walking with God - and learn from them.
What kind of heritage will you pass on?
There is a quote that says “Be the person that you needed when you were younger.” This is a noble challenge to us all. Let it guide our own footsteps, for future generations are watching. We get to decide what kind of legacy we pass on. Let it be a legacy of faithfulness.
