Proverbs 20:7 A righteous man who walks in his integrity--blessed are his sons after him!

Very often we get caught out because we do not have the correct information about something, simply like reducing the number of tissues from 220 to 180 and keeping the size and price of the box the same. We are never to old to learn and similarly I learnt something about watermelons, firstly many watermelon farmers do not own the land but rent it for a single crop. They do not fence the land properly with all the investment being in getting water to the crop, they then get a permit to kill any game that comes on the land and so protect the crop. When the crop is harvested they move on and the field takes six years to recover and the wild life never does.

Now when we look at what we do and the consequences are we being fair to those around us and do we care what happens next year after we move on and have made a profit. Wisdom is a gift that is something beyond compare, and we need to use it wisely. Always be conscious that we leave a legacy to others, even the unborn generations, what are we leaving them?

Be encouraged today to be aware that what we do becomes who we are.

 

David

Point to ponder: We are called to care about tomorrow.

Question to consider: What legacy are you leaving behind?
