DAILY READINGS: Exodus 28:15-43; Psalms 74:1-75:10; Acts 16:16-40

Therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity. Joshua 24:14

The sermon’s title was, “A Life That Matters.” Two famous athletes were being questioned as to their legacy. Ted Williams pointed to his success in baseball. And Michael Jordan noted his achievements in basketball. The speaker commented, “How sad!” A lifetime quest for fleeting fame. The apostle Paul had the best goal declaring, “For to me to live is Christ” (Phil. 1:21). We all leave imprints in the sands of time.
May our steps inspire holy living for the generation following us and leave a legacy that counts for eternity. —E. Dyck

Living for Jesus a life that is true,
Striving to please Him in all that I do;
Yielding allegiance, gladhearted and free,
This is the pathway of blessing for me. —Thomas O. Chisholm
