Michael Phelps on his legacy: 'Proud of what I've done'

when i think about

a person gaining a legacy

i think about moses

Exo 3:2

And the  angel of the LORD  appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush:  and he looked,  and,  behold,  the bush burned with fire,  and the bush was not consumed. some thoughts 1. moses was 80 years old 2. our most important task on earth is to hear from God and obey it 3. the world keeps looking to this life alone for its legacy 4. legacy is something that validates   a person 5. our validation must come from God, this may include no one knows about you or maybe just a few people know about you 6. if a person finishes their "legacy" by an early age what do they do with the rest of their lives? 7. if our purpose is to please God we have an eternal task in front of us  Phl 1:23 For  I am in a strait betwixt two,  having a desire to depart,  and to be with Christ;  which is far better:  Phl 1:24 Nevertheless  to abide in the flesh  is more  needful for you. 1. like paul our best goal is to end up with Christ 2. our next best goal is to be a blessing to other people  Phl 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy,  that ye be likeminded,  having the same love,  being of one accord, of one mind. the LORD has a joy and a love that this world does not know about
