Day 18

The decisions we make every day don’t just affect our lives, they affect generations to come..
When you make decisions that honor God, when you’re generous and faithful, it is being credited to your children’s account, to your grandchildren, to future generations..
God is keeping an account of every good thing you do, the times you forgive when you could stay bitter, the times you’re being your best when nobody is giving you credit. That’s not being overlooked. It’s accruing mercy, favor, and blessing in your family’s account..
You can be the one to set your family on a new course of blessing. You can start freedom, wholeness, and victory..
Over three hundred years after David died, eight generations later, his descendant King Hezekiah and the city of Jerusalem were surrounded by a huge Assyrian army. It looked as though Hezekiah was done, but God sent an angel who destroyed 185,000 of the enemy troops. In a split second the army was defeated and the nation was saved. “I will defend this city and save it, for my sake and for the sake of David my servant.” (2 Kings 19:34)
Let this challenge us to be our very best–to not be indifferent, to not get diverted by offenses, to not try to pay people back, to not compromise and give in to temptations. Make your life count. Start a blessing. You’re affecting generations to come. You can pass down blessings, favor, generosity, and faithfulness..
Or you can pass down dysfunction and bitterness. Start the blessing, start the favor, start the freedom..
God is counting on you to take your family to a new level. Because of your faithfulness, they’re going to go further, accomplish more, and become all they were created to be..
“From one generation to another He shows mercy to those who honor Him……” (Luke 1:50)
