By Faith He Still Speaks

There is a verse that I love. It is Hebrews 11:4. "By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offering. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead."

It is the last part of the verse that strikes me most. "And by faith he still speaks, even though dead." Will the same be said about our lives after we are dead? Will what you do now impact people for God even after you are dead? How many a great man and woman of God have made a continuing positive impact on other peoples lives, even though they are dead? Maybe you can think of some people like that. I know that I can. One of those people was my dad. To this day my dad continues to speak, even though he is dead. Of course there is my mother-in-law Tine Wilkens (Johnson).

God help me to speak, even after I am dead.
