How to Build a Legacy that Lasts
Read Habakkuk 2:4
Today’s Truth
God spoke through the prophet Habakkuk to warn Babylon that He was not pleased with their obsession with money and material possessions. Habakkuk chastises Babylon for the way they built their wealth. Their desires were not upright. They obtained their wealth through greed, arrogance, extortion, and bloodshed. Their house was built through unjust gain and filled with stolen goods.
Discussion Question-Read Chapter 2
- On a scale of 1 to 10, how important is it to you to have the latest and greatest in terms of gadgets, clothes or toys? Why did you pick that number?
- God doesn’t get mad at Babylon for having nice things, but for the way they lusted after and worshipped nice things. As you think about your attitude toward money and stuff, is it verging on worship?
- Is there anything about your attitude to money and stuff that needs to change based on what you read today?
Life Application
One day, we will all give an account for what we built our lives on. Like the nations of Habakkuk’s day, we have a choice: We can build our lives on a relationship with Jesus, or we can build our lives on acquiring stuff and making money. But only one will last into eternity.
