Legacy of Faith

By Paula Wiseman

Legacy of Faith title graphic with sand dunes

“Abraham lived a hundred and seventy-five years. Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, an old man and full of years; and he was gathered to his people.” – Genesis 25:7-8

A journey completed.
A life well-lived.
A faith tested and proven.
A legacy secured.

From Ur to Canaan,
From childlessness to fatherhood,
From doubt to certainty,
From fear to courage.

Not perfect.
Not flawless.
Not without stumbles.
Yet faithful.

He died “full of years”—
Not just quantity of time,
But quality of life,
Richness of relationship with God.

His body returned to dust,
But his faith lives on—
In Isaac and Jacob,
In Israel and the Church,
In all who walk by faith, not sight.

Centuries later, his name would appear
In faith’s hall of fame:
“By faith Abraham…”

Today may seem small,
Just one ordinary day.
But faithful Mondays build faithful lives,
And faithful lives leave a legacy of faith.
