But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children—
with those who keep his covenant
and remember to obey his precepts.
(Psalm 103:17-18 NIV)
There is a small lake behind our house, and there is a family of ducks that live in the lake during springtime. We have often witnessed the ducklings swimming obediently behind their mother, completely trusting in her leading them.
Recently, we watched a video of a father working out, and his toddler son followed behind him, mimicking what he saw his father do. It was refreshing to watch and listen to the father encouraging his son as he tried to imitate the father's actions.
God promises in His word that if we follow Him in trust, our legacy will show the way for our descendants to be blessed by following his covenant and obeying his precepts.
