Acts 13:30 – 36 (NET)
30 But God raised him from the dead, 31 and for many days he appeared to those who had accompanied him from Galilee to Jerusalem. These are now his witnesses to the people. 32 And we proclaim to you the good news about the promise to our ancestors, 33 that this promise God has fulfilled to us, their children, by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son; today I have fathered you.’ 34 But regarding the fact that he has raised Jesus from the dead, never again to be in a state of decay, God has spoken in this way: ‘I will give you the holy and trustworthy promises made to David.’ 35 Therefore he also says in another psalm, ‘You will not permit your Holy One to experience decay.’ 36 For David, after he had served God’s purpose in his own generation, died, was buried with his ancestors, and experienced decay,”
There is much talk today about the carbon footprint and it’s impact on nature. But have you ever given any thought to you spiritual footprint? That is the measure we should use to test the change we are making in the world.
What is your impact on the world? For carbon footprints smaller is better but the complete opposite is true for spiritual footprints. The bigger the better, the greater impact we have on the lives of others.
Our spiritual footprints do not die with us they remain in the actions, prayers, and investments we make in our people’s lives. This will become the legacy we leave behind when we join those who die.
Choose to live to impact others, leave this life by planning well and investing in people so our spiritual footprint will live in eternity.
