42
The answer to life, the universe, and everything… according to Douglas Adams.
42, Jackie Robinson’s jersey number.
In Lost, 42 is one of Hurley’s mystery numbers.
…
But I have had an altogether different experience with the number 42.
A few years ago I started reading my Bible in the book of Matthew. In the beginning of the book, Matthew gave an account of the genealogy that lead to Jesus…
Abraham to David: 14 generations
David to Jeconiah: 14 generations
Jeconiah to Jesus: 14 generations
42 in total.
While reading the lineage of Jesus I had the wildest encounter with God. He spoke to me about my purpose in life and about legacy. I have never been the same.
This year as I turn 42 I want my life to be about what I leave my children. I want them to dwell in the promised land. I want them to have peace because of the battles Kelsey and I fight. I want my ceiling to be their floor. I want them to know God in a sincere way, and to have certainty in their identity.
I don’t want to die and my children not have access to a monetary inheritance.
EVEN MORE SO
I don’t want to die and my children not have access to a spiritual inheritance.
May this be the year of legacy... the year of passing the baton… the year of transference.
Also, don’t forget your towel.
