God wants all believers to leave a spiritual inheritance to their children. There is a reason He says regarding the law of the Lord, “Keep the commandments you have learned from your father and forsake not the instruction of your mother; bind them continually upon your heart and wear them over your heart.”
It goes on to say, “When you go, they will lead you, when you sleep, they shall keep you. When you awake, they shall walk with you; for the commandment is a lamp and the law is light. The reproof of their instruction is the way of life,” Proverbs 6:20-23.
The treasure of the Word is something we desire to bequeath to our children even more than we wish to leave them a financial inheritance. We know that the very foundation of the world is being shaken and the things we have always considered steadfast are toppling around us. We know the only thing that will endure is the truth of Christ.
We know the promise of the Lord in Proverbs 13:22 is, “A good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children, but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.” Ultimately, every good thing belongs to the people of God. Those who depend upon earth’s treasure will lose it all. Those who rely on the Lord will have it all!
