Leviticus 21:15 NLT
“so that he will not dishonour his descendants among his clan, for I am the Lord who makes him holy.”

For y(our) own benefit
In today’s world, it’s important to remember that the consequences of our actions can have far-reaching effects that extend beyond our lifetimes. Going beyond our lifetimes implies that these decisions can have a lasting impact on our descendants, shaping their lives and reputations. Today’s referenced scripture reinforces this notion because the Lord emphasizes that the actions of a high priest, such as marrying against prescribed instructions, can bring dishonour not only to his future generations. This is a powerful reminder to be mindful of our choices and their potential implications for our posterity.

Paul’s message to the Corinthians further emphasizes the importance of self-mastery and avoiding allowing anything to gain mastery over us (1 Corinthians 6:12). By exercising self-control and making decisions with future generations in mind, we can strive to leave behind a positive legacy. It’s a call to action to ensure that our actions and decisions today do not tarnish the name and reputation we pass on to future generations. Let’s honour the legacy of our ancestors by upholding the sanctity of our family name and leaving behind a positive and enduring legacy for our progeny.

Heavenly Father, I pray I will not engage in activities that make life difficult for my descendants. In Jesus’s name. Amen.
