Last Words

Last words are usually significant words. Presidents, kings, corporate leaders, and people of influence reflect back on their years of service and work and summarize what they consider to be most important for future generations.

King David was unquestionably an important and influential ruler and man of God. These are his last written words (see Psalm 72.20):

"Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who alone works wonders. And blessed be His glorious name forever; And may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen." (Psalm 72.18-19)

This man after God's own heart knew the richness of God's blessings and favor. This One alone works great and mighty things. Yahweh singularly was and is worthy of the highest acclaim and praise. Nothing could be better than that the entire earth would reflect His matchless glory.

When David's life was nearly done, that which was foremost was His Creator Father. And that's a legacy life lesson we do will to learn. A time will come when life itself will no longer satisfy, but if we have walked intimately with our Father and Creator, our joy, hope, and very life will be Him, and not ourselves. That thought and truth is worthy of a double Amen! (verse 19).

If we would learn a lesson from King David, it would be that we don't have to wait until the end of our days to know that Yahweh is our all in all. I pray that we each are wholeheartedly acknowledging that today, regardless of our age.
