“行为完全的义人，他的后代是有福的。”
箴言 20:7
“A righteous man who walks in his integrity- How blessed are his sons after him.”
Proverbs 20:7
Proverbs 20:7 challenges parents to model righteousness. In contrast to earthly parents who may disappoint, however, our heavenly Father loves us perfectly. Psalm 103 describes God’s loving character and asks the reader to remember the gracious benefits He gives His people—forgiveness, healing, redemption, love, and compassion (vv. 3–5). These benefits are rooted in God’s character described in verse 8. This verse reminds the reader of God’s own description of His character in Exodus 34:6
At times earthly fathers disappoint or hurt their children. But our Father in heaven is “compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love” (Ps. 103:8). When a dad who loves the Lord corrects, comforts, instructs, and provides for the needs of his children, he models for them our perfect Father in heaven.
Heavenly Father,
thank You for Your faithfulness that I can always count on.
Please help me to live today in a way that leaves behind a legacy of faithfulness and love.
A life lived for Christ is the best inheritance we can leave for the next generation.
