In reading Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, I’ve noticed that wisdom encourages us to focus on eternity. The more we see things from God’s perspective, the more likely we are to strive for a godly legacy.
It’s this desire to leave a legacy that drives me to support Bible translation. As a result, I’m here to help God’s stewards make wise use of their God-given assets to impact His kingdom through creative gift planning. I trust that will be my legacy as I cross the finish line into eternity.
As you reflect upon the significance or meaning of your life, what will your legacy be? Will it be as Solomon said, “I came to hate all my hard work here on earth, for I must leave to others everything I have earned. And who can tell whether my successors will be wise or foolish? Yet they will control everything I have gained by my skill and hard work under the sun. How meaningless” (Ecclesiastes 2:18-19, NLT). Or will it include eternal impact as you store up treasures in Heaven?
In order to help you assess the impact of your legacy, I invite you to use our newest tool, called “My Legacy Planner.” This will help you take the first step in evaluating the wise use of what God has entrusted to you. Visit www.wycliffefoundation.org/MLP to create your personal legacy plan. As always, we are here to serve you and help you discover God’s plan of stewardship for what He’s entrusted to you.
