Do it for the Children (Proverbs 20:7)

It is so wonderful to have a legacy.

"The righteous man walks in his integrity; blessed - happy, fortunate [enviable] - are his children after him." Proverbs 20:7, Amplified

There is a phrase used four different times in the Bible which speaks about a father's children. "...visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations..." (Exodus 20:5, 34:7; Numbers 14:18; Deuteronomy 5:9) If the iniquity of the father shall come upon the children, how much more will his integrity? We are the examples for our children. What we do, what we say, how we react. If we translate those into the spiritual, then it could be concluded that we again our the examples for our children. I am not saying that they will be perfect little angels (because they will make their own decisions) but they must have an example. Be the example for the children so that they may be blessed.
