LEAVING A LEGACY!

by David Cawston

Scripture: Psalm 37:23


Leaving a Legacy!
David Cawston
Psalm 37:23


The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Psalms 37:23

TODAY'S DETAILS ARE TOMORROW'S LEGACY.

God will direct your steps...
You don't have to be perfect to accomplish God's purpose.
but the choices you make will determine your legacy!

For he knows how weak we are he remembers we are only dust. Psalm 103:14

Great people have character flaws!
Winston Churchill!
He was the leader that was needed for Britain during the Second World War.
His legacy is his ability to lead that devastated nation in the middle of a war with hope and courage.
Churchill was known for his dry wit and his quick tongue.
Churchill topped a poll of history's funniest insults with a famous jibe directed at Lady Astor, the first female MP. When accused of being drunk' the Prime Minister responded: 'My dear, you are ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be ugly.'

Just as Churchill was a great leader he had many flaws.
It is not your mistakes that define you but your accomplishments.

God uses flawed materials to accomplish His purposes.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 2 Corinthians 4:7 (NKJV)

Notice - God definitely chooses clay to build His Kingdom.
Earthen vessels - Clay pots - Crack pots

Through the weakness of our clay people can marvel at the power of God.

On this Father's Day I want to talk to you about the legacy you are leaving behind!
For your children, your grandchildren and future generations.
Let the Lord's purpose shine through you for future generations.

We all leave a legacy of some kind when we leave this world.
The book of Hebrews 11:4 describes a man by saying, '' he being dead, yet he speaks'' .

Your life still speaks after you have passed away! - That is your legacy!

Today I want to focus on the legacy of King David.

David had flaws.
