day no. 14,276: our part in history

Genesis 48:15-16
“The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,
the God who has been my shepherd all my life long to this day,
the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the boys;
and in them let my name be carried on,
and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;
and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”

God has placed in man a desire to see his name go on. As men made in His image, we desire to see a legacy expanding and stretching out over history in which we played a significant part. And a man's story is grafted into the story, if his ties return to God. In this way, we enter into a story larger than ourselves, longer than our progeny.
