I was reading through 2 Chronicles when this verse jumped out at me which was speaking about King Jehoram the son of Ahab and Jezebel.
“He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed with no one’s regret. They buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.” (2 Chronicles 21:20)
Did you see that line about him departing after being king with no one’s regret. The idea is probably that he was not mourned or grieved over as a king. He wasn’t even given a proper funeral or a royal tomb. He received none of the customary honors of a king.
The point of this post is: Don’t be that man!
Make a difference in this world. Love and serve people. Be kind and faithful to your family. Be a hardworking employee who the boss regrets when you are away.
Be the kind of person that at your death, you are mourned, honored, and your legacy remains for generations.
It all depends on what kind of life you live today! So go live a life of love and service!
