Today’s Truth
Older women…encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home … (Titus 2:3-5, NASB).
Grandma didn’t leave me a sum of money when she passed away, but she left something much more valuable. God used her to show me that leaving an inheritance to our children is so much more than money in the bank, well-invested mutual funds, and valuable heirlooms. It is leaving them memories of simple times together, showing them on how to become men and women of God, and leaving a legacy that causes them to “rise up and call you blessed.”
What sort of legacy will you leave behind? The more we become women who listen to God, the more likely we will leave a yearning in others to do the same.
Let’s Pray
Dear Lord, help me to leave a godly heritage and invest love today that will multiply tomorrow. Help me to always remember what is important—not money in the bank, but God in the heart. Help me to be the type of woman that we read about in Titus 2 who exemplifies what You desire.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
Now It’s Your Turn
Can you think of an older woman who has invested in you? Consider writing her a note and telling her how she has blessed you.
How are you investing in the younger generation?
If you are reading this devotion, there is someone younger than you!
