What are you living to?
This biblical book ends with Nehemiah reflecting on his leadership career. He repeatedly asks God to remember him, to have favor on him.
My great-gradfather, Roy Clyde Jenkins, died before I was born. As a child I heard stories about him. He’s still a legend in my family. He was a farmer and a preacher and a loving family man. Apparently his last words were “Into your hands I commit my spirit.” (See Luke 23:46.) His life of faith led to a faithful death. He had spent so much of his life in the Lord’s presence that he was conscious of that divine reality even at his final breath.
When I reflect on my lifetime in God’s service, I pray that I will see faithfulness that will allow me to expect divine favor.
