Investing in Others “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.” (Proverbs 13:22) When 101-year-old Eugenia Dodson died, no one had any idea how wealthy she was. She’d lived frugally, working as a beautician and investing the nest egg her late husband left her when he’d passed fifty years earlier. But Dodson left $35.6 million for cancer and diabetes research. Both diseases had ravaged her family, and she’d wanted to help others. Dodson used her vast resources to care for future generations she would never meet. One representative said, “She was dead set on doing good for humankind. She had a big heart.” Proverbs says that if we want to make an impact and live a truly good life, then we’ll think not merely about our own needs but about the needs of those who’ll come after us. “A good person,” Scripture says, “leaves an inheritance for their children’s children” (13:22). This admonition refers to helping our own family, but it also has implications for how we invest spiritually and in other ways in all the generations to come. In Israel’s communal culture, “children’s children” referred to a far wider circle than modern notions of a narrow nuclear family. There are numerous ways we can invest in the futures of others. Some may be able to pass on a financial inheritance. But as our loving God provides what we need, all of us can pass along a legacy of integrity, share a heritage of faithful prayer, and steward His creation for all who follow (v. 23). By Winn Collier Reflect & Pray; How have others invested in your future? How are you investing in others? Dear God, Please help me to serve others for Your glory. Scripture Insight; God instructed parents to teach His commandments to the next generation (Deuteronomy 6; Psalm 78:5-7). Solomon, who authored many of the proverbs, often wrote in the form of a life manual from a father to a son, providing guidance for navigating the moral minefields of the world (see Proverbs 1:8-9; ch. 4). In Proverbs 13, he says it’s the wise son who “heeds his father’s instruction” (v. 1) and “righteousness guards the person of integrity” (v. 6). The writer stresses the importance of humility, wisdom, prudence, discipline, and diligence (vv. 10-25). Today, as the Spirit helps us obey the instructions found in Scripture, we can faithfully pass along a legacy of integrity and faithfulness to the next generation. By: K. T. Sim https://odbm.org/ The Gospel of Jesus Christ; “Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,” - 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 “”Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces." For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, "Peace be within you." Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good””. - Psalm 122:6-9 Bless Israel in ALL Things; “I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." - Genesis 12:3

C. H. Spurgeon's Morning Reading (November 14th) "I will cut off them that worship and that swear by the Lord, and that swear by Malcham." — Zephaniah 1:5 Such persons thought themselves safe because they were with both parties: they went with the followers of Jehovah, and bowed at the same time to Malcham. But duplicity is abominable with God, and hypocrisy His soul hateth. The idolater who distinctly gives himself to his false god, has one sin less than he who brings his polluted and detestable sacrifice unto the temple of the Lord, while his heart is with the world and the sins thereof. To hold with the hare and run with the hounds, is a dastard's policy. In the common matters of daily life, a double-minded man is despised, but in religion he is loathsome to the last degree. The penalty pronounced in the verse before us is terrible, but it is well deserved; for how should divine justice spare the sinner, who knows the right, approves it, and professes to follow it, and all the while loves the evil, and gives it dominion in his heart? My soul, search thyself this morning, and see whether thou art guilty of double-dealing. Thou professest to be a follower of Jesus—dost thou truly love Him? Is thy heart right with God? Art thou of the family of old Father Honest, or art thou a relative of Mr. By-ends? A name to live is of little value if I be indeed dead in trespasses and sins. To have one foot on the land of truth, and another on the sea of falsehood, will involve a terrible fall and a total ruin. Christ will be all or nothing. God fills the whole universe, and hence there is no room for another god; if, then, He reigns in my heart, there will be no space for another reigning power. Do I rest alone on Jesus crucified, and live alone for Him? Is it my desire to do so? Is my heart set upon so doing? If so, blessed be the mighty grace which has led me to salvation; and if not so, O Lord, pardon my sad offence, and unite my heart to fear Thy name.

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. Proverbs 19:21

"It was pleasant to listen to the rustling of autumn leaves under the soft soles of my shoes, and to whistle softly through my teeth, and sometimes, picking up a dry leaf, to peer at the intricate pattern of delicate veins in the light of the rare streetlights, and to inhale the slightly bitter scent of decay." — Ray Bradbury Good morning friends happy Saturday!😘❣️ https://t.me/j8m8d

The Man on the Middle Cross Said I Can Come | Alistair Begg

And as they led Him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus. And there followed Him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for Him. But turning to them Jesus said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!' Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us,' and to the hills, 'Cover us.' For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?" Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with Him. And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on His right and one on His left. And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." And they cast lots to divide His garments. And the people stood by, watching, but the rulers scoffed at Him, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself, if He is the Christ of God, His Chosen One!" The soldiers also mocked Him, coming up and offering Him sour wine and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!" There was also an inscription over Him,"This is the King of the Jews. One of the criminals who were hanged railed at Him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!" But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong." And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." And He said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, while the sun's light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" And having said this He breathed His last. Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God, saying, "Certainly this man was innocent!" And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts. And all His acquaintances and the women who had followed Him from Galilee stood at a distance watching these things. Luke 23:26-49

"Angels" Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation? Hebrews 1:14

The Character of Christ (7) Come to Me, all you who labour and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30
