October 3 Esther 1-4 Sin Has Long Term Consequences

God, through Samuel the prophet, ordered King Saul to completely annihilate the Amalekites. Saul did not and the wrath of God was on him for His disobedience. Saul certainly felt the brunt of his sin, but so did his family and the whole kingdom at his time.

Now, in Esther, 500 years later, Haman the Agagite, a descendant of of King Agag of the Amalekites, has engineered a plot to wipe out the Jews. Because of Saul's disobedience, the Jews are about to be wiped out.

Saints, we live in community with other people and no matter what we do, we leave a legacy to the next generation and beyond. What we do as ripples through the next generations. So the question for all of us is, "What will my legacy look like - good or bad?"

Make the decision today for good!
