As for the other events of Hezekiah’s reign, all his achievements and how he made the pool and the tunnel by which he brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 2 Kings 20:20-21

Up to this point, we’ve seen Hezekiah as a man who pled with God to lengthen his days on Earth. If God hadn’t granted him a 15 year extension on his life, he might not have been able to finish the pool and the tunnel mentioned in this verse. I’m certain in those days it was no small engineering feat to accomplish what Hezekiah did. And it would be the thing that would seal Hezekiah’s legacy for generations to come.

We all have legacies and memories we want to leave behind. Not all of them are as grandiose as Hezekiah’s but they are no less important. Your legacy could very well be what you instill in your children. Even if they are grown you can continue to nurture that influence, though you probably already know that you need to take a different tack now that they are in their early 20s. Or perhaps God is moving you to have input into nursing home patients or within foster homes. Your legacy can be something physical or it can be emotional or spiritual. But you do have influence over others. Pray for wisdom that you will be able to use that influence wisely and effectively.
