Everything
around you, and everything you can see – it’s all temporary. One day it will
all be gone. But, my words last – forever! So, don’t focus on or get
overwhelmed by this other stuff, or you will miss the chance for my words to
become your life. My words mean either life or death for everyone on earth.
(Luke 21:33-35)
Do you want legacy? Do you wish for the work
you do during your lifetime to really endure through time? Are you afraid you
may be invested in something that will not last beyond your leadership tenure?
If so, Jesus gives the answer you are looking for to build something lasting.
What lasts forever is what God values. Over
the course of history, He has repeatedly told men and women that His words are
the way to real, fulfilling, purposeful life, and His words are about
relationship. God’s desire is for obedient worship – period. All the work you must
do to please the Lord is described by one phrase, “do what God wants you to
do.” Nothing else will last. No manmade monuments will survive. No
accomplishments will matter. No heroic, sacrificial deeds will be long-remembered,
unless what you build or do is what the Lord asks you to make of your life.
Build for forever. Accomplish the work that
God gives you each day. Obey His word and build lives that will last.
