#soap # Ezekiel 19 ## Title: What Will They Sing At Your Funeral? ## Scripture: (Ezekiel 19:1) “And you, sing a lament for the princes of Israel, (NET) ## Observation: No one likes to talk about their own funeral and think about the prospect of dying. The truth is, that day is coming. When it does, people will sing songs to honor your life. What will they sing? In this chapter, God commands Ezekiel to sing a funeral song of judgment on the idolatrous nations. The funeral song became their legacy. What about you? Sadly, we do not get to write our own legacies. We can try. We can even write a bestselling autobiography. However, our true and lasting legacy will be told by others. If they speak of our autobiography, they will source it as what we claimed our life was about. The goal is to live today so that others will tell the story of God’s faithfulness tomorrow. Make sure when they sing songs at your funeral, it is songs about the Lord’s goodness, mercy, and kindness. Live your life in a way that you are not ashamed of what you leave behind. ## Application: Live in a way that will not make your grandchildren ashamed. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for walking with us through all seasons of life, even beyond the end.
