for the future

IMG_1002Isaiah 39

Hezekiah had made a huge mistake, letting the Babylonian envoys see all the treasures of his house.  The Babylonians would be back, and carry some of his own descendants into exile.  Yet, the king consoled himself with the assurance that these consequences would come after his death.  How selfish!  We need to think about our children and their children.  What kind of world will they face?  We are deciding that by our actions, or the lack of them.

LORD, we choose to obey, not for our sakes only, but for the future.
