Today’s Thought “A Dowry on Behalf of the Bride” G. Ward Isaiah 9 6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Many are familiar with a predecessor’s attempt to establish a legacy in contentment for generations who would follow and whereas it was also instrumental in leaving land for their children’s success, upon the aged departure, “For Sale” signs would appear almost immediately. Great benefit however, would soon return to mundane as expenditures of sorts, along with trinkets purchased (acquired in immediate depreciation) promoted overwhelming regret unto the heir. The spiritual inheritance (Christ provides) cannot be bought and remains invaluable and many desire a shopping spree over the solace it offers. The idea of getting inheritance now, is opposite of ancestral wisdom that desired to leave a legacy uncompromised (*Phil.2:3-5).
