DAY SIXTY THREE | A GOOD MAN’S INHERITANCE

Proverbs 13:22, “A good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children.”

The first thing we need to do if we are to leave something lasting behind is to:

COMMIT TO BEING A GOOD PERSON.
Life is a choice and you can choose to be a good person with good values, making good choices, and having a good future. What are some of the things a good man displays?

A GOOD MAN CARRIES GOOD NEWS – 2 Samuel 18:27
Be a person who is known for saying good things wherever they go. Let the grace of gratitude be always on your lips.

A GOOD MAN DEALS GRACIOUSLY AND LENDS – Psalm 112:5
Be a generous person and always extend grace to those around you. Learn to be a lender who never requires the loan to be paid back.

A GOOD MAN’S STEPS ARE ORDERED OF THE LORD – Psalm 37:23
Be a person who displays a life lived for a higher cause.Your life should show some evidence of an eternal design and plan.

A GOOD MAN OBTAINS FAVOUR FROM THE LORD Proverbs 12:2
Be a person who actively pursues the favour of God for your life. Favoured people live big lives knowing God will give them more.

A GOOD MAN WILL BE SATISFIED FROM ABOVE – Proverbs 14:14
Be a person who holds tightly to eternal things and loosely to the things of this world. Your joy and fulfilment should be found in doing the will of the Father and hearing Him say, “Well done good and faithful servant.”

A good man always leaves something of worth behind to bless and encourage those who will follow in his steps.
