---A LASTING LEGACY ~~

-"[Eve] said, "With
the help of the
LORD I have
brought forth a
man." -(Genesis 4:1)--

---THOMAS EDISON invented the first practical electric light bulb. Jonas Salk developed an effective polio vaccine. Amy Carmichael penned many of the hymns we sing in worship. But what about you? Why were you put on earth? How will you invest your life?

Genesis 4 tells us that Eve "became pregnant and gave birth to Cain." after holding Cain for the first time, Eve announced, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man" (V.1). In an effort to explain the surprising experience of the very first birth, Eve uses a phrase dripping with dependency on the sovereign aid of God: "With the help of the LORD." Eventually, through Eve's seed, God would provide rescue for His people through another Son (John 3:16). "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son [Jesus], that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." What a legacy!

Parenthood is just one of many ways people make lasting contributions to this world. It may be the work you leave behind or your reputation for integrity in business. In any case, will your words echo Eve's dependency on Jehovah G-D? With the help of the Lord, what will you do for His honor? Let's allow the "voice of the Holy Spirit", to speak the Word, and open the way for Him, to draw others to Himself. ~~
