Converge, Week 2 - Day 1: Building for Tomorrow

Converge, Week 2 Day 1: Building for Tomorrow Devotional Have you ever wondered what legacy you’re leaving behind? In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in immediate needs and urgent demands. We focus on what’s right in front of us, forgetting that the future is coming. But God calls us to think differently – to think generationally. When we look at our lives, our families, and our churches, we must ask ourselves: are we building something that will last? Are we creating a foundation that will serve our children and their children? It’s about establishing spiritual infrastructure that demonstrates to everyone around us that Jesus is Lord. Think about the decisions you make today. Your choices in how you spend your time, invest your resources, and prioritize your commitments are all building blocks for tomorrow. Every act of faithfulness, every moment of discipleship, every investment creates a legacy that extends beyond your lifetime. When we build with eternity in mind, we’re not just serving future generations – we’re becoming more like Christ ourselves. This generational thinking transforms how we approach everything from our personal devotions to our family relationships to our church involvement. Bible Verse We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done. He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to their children, - Psalm 78:4-5 Reflection Question What specific legacy are you building today that will help future generations understand that Jesus is Lord, and how might your current priorities need to shift to align with this generational vision? Quote “This is a generational view of faith. This is about obeying God by investing your life in ways that make it obvious to everyone around you, even generations to come, that Jesus is Lord.” Prayer Lord, help me to see beyond my immediate circumstances and think with eternal perspective. Give me wisdom to build a legacy that points future generations to You. Amen.
