20 April - Genesis 25:1-13


Our reading today in the Tattoo Church Reading Plan is Genesis 25:1-13.
  1. At the beginning of this chapter we learn that after Sarah died Abraham remarried and had more children. However, God’s promise to bless Abraham with a nation of descendants was through Isaac. 
  2. Then we read that Abraham died at 175 years old and was buried with Sarah.
  3. Then we read the lineage of Ishmael (the son Abraham had with his maid Hagar). More on this tomorrow . . . 
This chapter is mainly a factual account of Abraham and his offspring. However, have you ever thought about what legacy you will leave after you die? Kind of morbid perhaps but seriously; how will you be remembered? What impact will your life have on your family and friends? Will it be a positive impact or negative? Will your life set the example for your children and grandchildren to follow?  Live you life in such a way to have the impact you want to have on those closest to you.
