A WILL OR LIVING TRUST CAN REFLECT OUR VALUES

Your last will and testament, or revocable living trust, can be an instrument that not only distributes your material possessions to your loved ones, but can also impart your values and beliefs. This plan is part of your legacy - a statement of how you will be remembered. Without careful and prayerful planning, a person's estate plan may become a burden to the family, a source of unnecessary expense and a cause for discord, resulting in a poor witness.

In Psalm 1 God promises that if we give ourselves over fully to Him and to His ways we will be like fruit-bearing trees along a river whose leaves never wither. Surely, we can trust God for the reality of this truth in our lives and in the lives of our loved ones. Sometimes the ways of the world will attract us. However, we learn from Psalm 1 that those who scoff at the things of God are like chaff blown by the wind; neither they nor their plans will succeed. Only God's way will lead to everlasting fulfillment and true happiness.

The Scriptures clearly say that given sufficient time, moth and rust will creep in and destroy any other inheritance. But this is an inheritance that fadeth not away.
